In response to the gun attack in which a 24-year-old student killed fourteen people on December 21, the affected faculty of Charles University in Prague canceled the current winter semester. The Faculty of Humanities announced on Friday that all education has been suspended until the end of the semester. Examinations and consultations between students and teachers could take place, but only on a voluntary basis.
“Not sitting the final exams in January/February 2024 will not jeopardize anyone’s ability to successfully complete their studies,” the report said.
The main faculty building where the attacker committed his crime will remain closed ‘for technical reasons at least until the end of January’. On the Jan-Palach-Platz in front of it there will be a “Month for the Faculty” with various events to cope with the tragedy and bring academic life back to its place.
On Friday, about 40,000 people had deposited an amount of 49.8 million kroner (just over 2 million euros) into a university donation fund for the injured and the relatives of the dead.
Other fundraising efforts also raised large sums. The CTK news agency estimated the total amount, including the university fund, at 63 million kroner (2.55 million euros) on Wednesday evening. (sda/dpa)
