Classes Suspended again at USJ after Student Quarrel
Classes have been suspended once again at Universite Saint Joseph at the Huvelin neighborhood in Beirut after a quarrel between the students on Wednesday, reported al-Jadeed television.
It said that a verbal dispute broke out between the students, forcing the administration to suspend classes in order to avert similar tensions as the ones that erupted on Monday.
LBCI television reported that the dispute forced the immediate intervention of security forces, which soon deployed in front of the university.
MTV meanwhile said that the dispute broke out when Hizbullah students prevented other students from entering USJ's yard.
Al-Jadeed later reported that the classes were only suspended at the Faculty of Business Management.
Tensions were high at the university on Monday in wake of a standoff between Hizbullah and March 14 camp supporters.
Media reports said that Hizbullah supporters surrounded the university in protest against recent student election results, which led to the standoff and the eventual intervention of the army and security forces to avert any violence.
The tensions on Monday led to the suspension of classes at USJ-Huvelin on Tuesday.
