Two security huts were burnt down, furniture damaged and numerous doors broken. Students clashed with campus security and police - prompting a suspension of lectures.
At this stage, it is believed that lectures will commence again today.
Management says they are currently engaging with student leadership to resolve the matters which include res, Wi-Fi, shuttle service times and NSFAS funding.
