The Victory campus in Bordeaux will remain closed on Monday due to degradations committed during the student occupation in December, said the president of the University of Bordeaux. Students occupied this site located in the city center at the beginning of December until its evacuation by the police on December 27, to denounce the precariousness and the pension reform.

"Significant and multiple degradations, some of which affect the equipment essential to guarantee the security and therefore the functioning of this site" have been noted, said in a tweet and on its Facebook page the presidency. "Such conditions oblige us to extend the closing period for several weeks until security requirements can be restored," she continued, adding that "all activities, particularly educational, must therefore be relocated during this period ”.

Put the hat on the striking students

Students reacted on the university's Facebook page, indicating that they had not been notified by email and asking where their courses would take place. “The university says there has been degradation. Some doors may have been broken, but that certainly does not require weeks of work, "said a student participating in the movement, on condition of anonymity.

"There, the will of the university is to place the responsibility on those who occupied part of the buildings and to prevent the students from mobilizing for next week's movements, especially on January 9", he continued.
