It should be noted that the University administration has implemented a ban on events and gatherings since August 2022 due to incidents of violence between different halls during last year’s hall celebrations.
A statement addressed to the students informed them that no events can take place without the explicit approval of the Dean of Student Affairs. The statement also warned that these guidelines would be strictly enforced, and any violations would be met with appropriate penalties. Several reports indicate that students were subjected to beatings with canes and belts, resulting in injuries to some individuals.
