Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Students,
As promised, we are coming back to you with an update regarding tomorrow, May 16, 2008.
After consultation with the University Planning Council in a meeting that took place this morning at 9:00 a.m., the following decisions were taken in light of the prevalent situation in Lebanon:
1. Faculty and Staff. The University, with its two campuses in Byblos and Beirut, will be open on May 16, 2008.
2. Faculty and Students. Given the prevalent situation in the country, there will be no classes tomorrow, May 16, 2008. We would like to inform our students that we have finalized a tentative academic schedule for them so that they may be able to make up for lost classes and accordingly, complete the semester. This new schedule will be announced soon.
We will on a daily basis keep you informed of any changes in schedule.
We pray for the safety of all the members of the LAU family and for peace in our beloved Lebanon.
You may also call telephone number 01 786456 or 09 547254, extension 1020 to get an update on the status of the University operation.
Thank you and please keep safe.
Joseph G. Jabbra
President
