Spokesperson, Alan Khan says the decision comes after a memorandum was handed over to the Vice-Chancellor yesterday following protests by the SRC.


"So we decided to suspend the academic programme for today only just to create an environment and platform so we can have cordial discussions with the SRC. We will resume the academic programme tomorrow morning," he said.

Management will meet with DUT's SRC at 1.30pm today to discuss financial aid scheme NSFAS as well as the in-sourcing of cleaning staff and security guards.
