These include student allowances, safety on campus, Disability Support Services as well as Bachelor of Science Students applications. The Executive Management Team has and is currently working on measures geared towards addressing the said issues. The University disapproves action by the SRC to intentionally disrupt classes. It should be noted that the SRC has no legal right as it contravenes the Student Code of Conduct and has no legal right to cancel classes. The disruption of classes by the SRC is highly inappropriate as it brings the image of the University into disrepute. The UB has an obligation to assist the sponsor (DTEF) with due diligence to avoid contravening the sponsorship agreement. The Senate approved the results for Semester Two of 2022/23 on June 16, 2023 and after their full verification, those for the DTEF sponsored students who attained Proceed (Good Academic Standing) were shared with the DTEF on June 29, 2023. The University acknowledges that there was an outstanding list of students who were still sitting for their supplementary examinations. Nevertheless, the list was submitted to the DTEF on July 31, 2023. The University is alive to the concerns over safety around the campus and is in the process of contracting a security services provider to reinforce the existing security measures. Meanwhile, security patrols have been increased in and around campus while the number of protection services personnel at the entrances of the student residences has been doubled to monitor movement around the hostels. The University protection services personnel will be working double shift to increase presence of security on campus. The University assures the student community that existing security personnel are working round the clock to ensure the safety of all people and property within the university. The University is an inclusive community and as such will continue to provide support services to students living with disabilities to facilitate an equitable and conducive learning environment for all.
