Students of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife in Osun State, have rejected what they described as ‘Academic abnormalities,’ calling on the university management to end early morning, late-night and Saturday classes.
The Students’ Representative Council (SRC), in a statement, said its commitment to upholding the welfare and overall well-being of the student body remains steadfast.
The student’s body expressed its displeasure over “recent scheduling abnormalities and academic practices”, stating its rejection of 7AM Classes, Lecture-Free Week Violations, Classes Extending Beyond 6PM, and Saturday Classes.
“It is imperative that we remind the school community that the above are illegal practices within OAU and it’s disheartening to see these abnormalities become a norm.
“These abnormalities disrupt the balance between academics and other essential aspects of students’ lives and the scheduling of lectures during lecture-free week undermines its intended purpose and robs students of the opportunity to consolidate their learning.
“We call on the university administration and the Division of Student Affairs to immediately address these concerns. The Great Ife Students’ Union remains steadfast in our advocacy for policies that prioritize the welfare and academic success of all students and going forward, we will not hesitate to take decisive actions to protect the rights and interests of our members should normalcy not be restored.
“We encourage all students to report such classes and we especially urge all class reps to cooperate with these directives as unity is needed to safeguard the principles that define our great institution.”
