The president’s office has decided to temporarily relocate classes of the Maldives National University (MNU) from the old Jamaaludheen building to the MES building.
In February, the government gave the university until June 14 to vacate the Jamaludheen building after the housing ministry declared the building structurally unsafe. But the MNU and its students union expressed concern over the lack of an alternate site.
The Jamaludheen building houses several faculties and is used by more than 1,300 students.
President’s office spokesperson Ibrahim Muaz Ali said on social media today that the MNU has not undertaken efforts to vacate the building despite repeated requests and ample opportunity.
With the deadline four days away, Muaz said the president decided to relocate classes to the old MES building to prevent disruption of students’ education.
The authorities will begin efforts to clear out the building on June 14, he said.
The MES building was vacated after the eviction of Mandhu College last week.
