Protest against E-learning at the University of Liberia Leaves Several Students Injured by PoliceMONROVIA – Police in Monrovia Monday allegedly fired teargas and rubber bullets on students of the campus-based Vanguard Students Unification Party (SUP) protesting for the cancellation of the e-learning program at the state-run University of Liberia (UL), injuring more than ten people. The protesting students later blocked the entrances leading to the institution’s edifice, chasing away Dr. Nelson. Conscious university students have been protesting against an ill-fated and rash E-learning system.”“We condemn this brutal invasion of UL and we are calling for a full-scale investigation. The eLearning has been found ineffective since the resumption of school three weeks ago.”However, University of Liberia Vice President for Public Affairs, Atty. Tweah said Dr. Nelson is a student-centered president and can in no way endanger the lives of protesting students.
