The second, third and fourth year Arts Faculty students of the Colombo University were placed out of bounds following a clash that took place yesterday, Vice Chancellor Prof. Lakshman Dissanayake said today.

Prof. Dissanayake told the Daily Mirror that measures had been placed after a clash broke out between two groups of students over the forthcoming student council election at the university.

“We have advised the students to vacate the hostel by yesterday night for their own security. The students connected to this clash are staying at the same hostel. Therefore there is a possibility of continuing their fights at the hostel again,” he said.

However he said that no student had been suspended in connection with the clash.
He said that already an inquiry had been started over the clash.

“All the other faculties and academic proceedings for the first year students in the Faculty of Arts will continue as usual,” he said.

The clash took place at the hostel at Ananda Rajakaruna Mawatha in Colombo and the injured students have been admitted to the Colombo National Hospital. (Kalathma Jayawardhane)

Very interesting we can see stiff defiance to these JVP backed uni students. We need a resistance like this to stop their dominance via DM Android App

Don't even employ these guys for a peon job. Expect the same treatment if you do so.

Well done Prof Disanayake. We need more chancellors with a back bone like you. Pera Uni is a disgrace with the cover ups that happen there. No action ever taken.

Some of them boast themselves in the hunger strike asking for suitable government jobs since they can not be employed by private sector due to their lack of English, what is the difference between some thugs on the roads and so called intellectuals at a university ? Shame and they should be interdicted for ever .
