CAPE TOWN - The Cape Peninsula University of Technology says it's been left with no choice but to shut its campuses.
It's ordered students to vacate all residences by 4pm on Friday.
Three buildings and two vehicles have been torched this week.

But student leaders say no one will be forced out until management meets with them.
Management says even though it's obtained a court order against protesting students, the violence has escalated.

Saw masses of people with luggage, buses & police at the Velodrome...asked some guys what was happening...they said it was 'all the students evicted from CPUT going home'...
 
And then we have to hire them.

The next time a CPUT graduate CV comes across my desk, I will ask if they were involved in any student protest?

Some of them might lie. But some of them will definitely squirm.

I would guess that the trouble makers were those taking micky mouse degrees rather than career enhancing degrees. The long term solution might be for tertiary institutions to discontinue useless courses and focus on science, engineering, medicine etc.

The ones protesting/burning are near always either those who are never going to pass their degree or are external/not students.

While I was there in 2015+, can guarantee not a single IT student that managed it into second year and up was part of the protests.

I've been saying that for ages, drop all the soc sci, pol sci etc stuff and focus on STEM.

Also enforce entrance exams handled by a 3rd party so you can eliminate even more crap.
