The students continued the boycott of the classes for the fourth day.

According to sources, the vice-chancellor said at a meeting of the deans of faculties and heads of the departments of the university that the examination would be held as scheduled and the administration would not succumb to the pressure of the students’ organizations.

He directed the teachers to complete the arrangements for the examination.
