In a response to the ongoing security concerns in Lebanon, the Lebanese University has announced the postponement of all examinations at its Hadath and Sidon campuses until further notice. The decision comes as part of the institution’s efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of its students, faculty, and staff.
A statement released by the university confirmed that the postponement applies to all faculties and institutes located within the Rafic Hariri University City in Hadath and the city of Sidon. However, examinations at other university branches will continue as scheduled.
According to sources within the university, the recent surge in violence and unrest in certain regions has prompted the institution to exercise extreme caution. By postponing the examinations, the Lebanese University hopes to alleviate any potential risks associated with the evolving security situation.
“We are committed to providing a secure learning environment for all our students, and we cannot guarantee their safety at this time,” the statement read. “We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will issue further updates as necessary.”
University officials have emphasized that the decision is in no way a reflection on the effectiveness of security measures already in place but rather a proactive step to mitigate any potential risks. By prioritizing the safety and well-being of its community, the Lebanese University is demonstrating its commitment to creating a stable and supportive academic environment.
The postponement is expected to affect thousands of students at the Hadath and Sidon campuses, with many anticipating the resumption of exams next week. Despite the inconvenience, students have expressed understanding for the university’s decision, with many acknowledging the gravity of the current situation.
As the security situation continues to unfold, the Lebanese University will remain vigilant and work closely with relevant authorities to ensure that all necessary precautions are taken to protect its community.
