Stu­dents of the Cipri­ani Labour Col­lege are threat­en­ing to take ac­tion if the ad­min­is­tra­tion does not ad­dress the per­sis­tent is­sues the guild of stu­dents has been rais­ing over the past few months.

To­day the stu­dents will hold a fo­rum with the school's Di­rec­tor, Pro­fes­sor Denise Mar­garet Thomp­son to dis­cuss the is­sues at the cam­pus' au­di­to­ri­um.

Some of the is­sues raised by the stu­dents in­clude: the non-is­suance of cer­tifi­cates to 2015 grad­u­ates, re­pairs to toi­let fa­cil­i­ties, lack in­ter­net ac­cess at the col­lege and in­suf­fi­cient WiFi, a non- func­tion­ing cafe­te­ria, dif­fi­cul­ties with the reg­is­tra­tion process, health and safe­ty non-com­pli­ance is­sues, the To­ba­go's cam­pus: has no li­brary, health and safe­ty is­sues, ren­o­va­tions or a new cam­pus is need­ed and they have miss­ing lec­tures, and the South cam­pus needs a new build­ing.

Guild pres­i­dent Runako Williams promised the stu­dents will pro­ceed with fur­ther ac­tion if the fo­rum does not go well.

"If the promis­es made or the dis­cus­sions at the fo­rum are not favourable in meet­ing our needs, or if we feel as though we are not tak­en se­ri­ous­ly by the Di­rec­torate, the Guild will pro­ceed to call for the re­moval of the pow­ers that be. We are tak­ing a stance to­ward the fu­ture of our col­lege," a re­lease from Williams stat­ed.

The fo­rum takes place at 5pm in Cipri­ani's au­di­to­ri­um at 5pm to­day.

"We stay com­mit­ted to the fact that Cipri­ani is a well ac­cred­it­ed in­sti­tu­tion and we don't want to see things get worse," Williams said.
