TUT resolves issues with students
Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) has stated that most complaints have been resolved regarding a recent protest at one of its places of residence in Old Pretoria Road.
TUT spokesperson Willa de Ruyter said almost all the complaints by the students have been successfully attended to.
Students had spoken to Lowvelder about some of their concerns including the inability to do work and assignments online due to very slow W-iFi.

“Previously it had only been available in one central location,” said De Ruyter.
“The Wi-Fi connectivity has since been expanded to students rooms. The slowness has been brought to the attention of the contractor and processes are under way to increase the bandwidth.”
“Students can use the information centres at the residence and on campus, which are equipped with Wi-Fi, for study purposes,” she said.

“TUT still offers face-to-face lectures and students are not dependent on online learning only for academic success.”
De Ruyter added that “the university constantly engages with legitimate residence leaders to hear their views, listen to their ideas and implement these where possible”.
