The University
of Zimbabwe (UZ) has refused to re-open the Halls of Residence
to accommodate all students including first year students, foreign
students were not spared. The University is set to open its doors
for the new intakes on the 10th of September 2007.In the letters
of admission to the successful applicants , the University Registrar
Mr S. Chevo, indicated that the university will not be able to offer
accommodation to all students. First year students from outside
Harare traditionally used to get first preference for the limited
accommodation on campus this served as a deliberate strategy for
managing the challenges of relocation and subsequent orientation
processes. The University of Zimbabwe closed all the Halls of Residence
at the University on the 9th of July 2007 after a spate of students
protests over the proposed lecturer's strike induced - fee hike.
