what happen on next Thursday November 26th??


You will be aware of certain commercial events which are being organised on next Thursday November 26th. These events have the potential to cause major disruption to our neighbours here in Bishopstown, seriously damage the reputation and public perception of Cork Institute of Technology and in particular the reputation of our graduates and you our students.



A successful charity-based seasonal event which ran well for a number of years was cancelled last year by the Institute following the events of 2007. Unfortunately commercial interests have sought once again to exploit you our students for their own commercial gain. We would urge you, in your own best interests, not to support the events of November 26th next.



The Institute has already received quite a number of representations from the Garda Sochna, Residents Associations, City Councillors and private residents in the Bishopstown area regarding the upcoming events on November 26th. There has also been a high level of media interest in what may or may not happen on this date.



The CIT position on this matter is quite clear. Thursday November 26th is a normal college day in CIT. All class timetables will run as normal in terms of lectures, practical and workshop sessions, laboratories etc. Any Continuous Assessment scheduled for the day will continue as normal and will not be rescheduled. Friday November 27th is also a normal college day here in CIT.



You are advised that the Institute will invoke disciplinary procedures, as appropriate, where individual students have been found to have brought the Institute into disrepute. In particular, you are asked to note that, by Regulation:


Students must not engage in any behaviour which may constitute inconvenience or nuisance to any person(s) within or outside the Institute.

The Institute has power to discipline any student deemed to have been guilty of misconduct, and has power to expel a student deemed to have been guilty of grave misconduct.


Apart from these sanctions which the Institute will apply, persons convicted of Public Order offences cause serious damage to their future career prospects and may disqualify themselves from overseas visas.



CIT, through the efforts of staff and students alike, has consistently developed its profile as a leading Higher Education institution in terms of academic achievement, success in the sporting world and the national and international achievements of our graduates. The Institute will not allow this reputation to be undone by commercial exploitation of our students. Neither will we allow the rights of our neighbours here in Bishopstown, to live free of nuisance and intimidation, to be put at risk by any unacceptable behaviour which could be associated with this Institution.

A bunch???? more like half the college. It was a disgrace

1988

Christmas in CIT:D

1988

I mean what was so bad that people are calling it a disgrace?

Was this the year two people were found.. erm.. "together" in an old ladys front garden?

Ya, Neil Prendiville blew it out of all proportion though, by letting all those old bints have so much air time.

why has this thread been bumped???

mooman

1988 was curious, don't ask me how he found it:D

Was this something to do with RAG week? Because a similar thing happened here in Sligo. Bins were overturned. Bins...And public defecation.

Do these people get degrees, I wonder?

No it was not RAG week, it was Christmas Day in CIT. As said already some students made a disgrace of the college, not the type of publicity CIT needs. RAG week in general is bad enough by all colleges around the country.

I'm locking this as it's an old thread.
