The cafeteria at Sharif University has been closed until further notice.
The board of directors of Sharif University of Technology issued a statement regarding the incidents that occurred yesterday at the university’s cafeteria, announcing that the cafeteria will be closed until further notice. The text of this announcement is as follows:
In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful. We express our gratitude to the insightful students of the university who have shown great cooperation in maintaining the order and security of the university. It is hereby announced that due to the inappropriate events that took place on Sunday, October 23, 2022, at Sharif University of Technology, where a number of law-breaking students engaged in vandalism and disruption, the university board strongly condemns such behavior that is unbecoming of the university environment. To ensure the continuation of educational and research activities, the following decisions have been made:
1. Due to the damage inflicted on the Alborz dining hall, unfortunately, dining inside the hall is not possible. Until repairs are completed and a peaceful environment is ensured, meals will be provided in packaged form and distributed to students at the southern side of the cafeteria.
2. If it is determined that individuals have engaged in assault or profanity and caused injury to others, their entry to the university will be temporarily banned, and they will be referred to the disciplinary committee at the earliest opportunity.
3. To create and maintain peace at the university, students who were identified as having a key role in causing unrest during the initial assessment will not be allowed to enter the university until further notice.
The university board, while emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace and welcoming lawful activities and authorized programs, rejects any repetition of behavior unbecoming of the university. It requests the disciplinary committee to use all legal capacities, such as suspension or expulsion, to address these issues.
