The committee's decision to advocate for a transitional board to take over the running of the university underscores the gravity of the situation. The university has been forced to close its doors since November 2024, a direct consequence of student protests and a subsequent lecturers' strike. These actions highlight the deep-seated problems that have plagued the institution, eroding its academic integrity and jeopardizing the future of its students.

The committee's concerns extend beyond the immediate crisis. They are deeply troubled by the university's financial situation and the apparent mismanagement of funds. This has led them to demand an independent investigation into the university's financial affairs, seeking to shed light on the underlying causes of the institution's dire state and to ensure accountability for any wrongdoing.
