What’s the point of restricting guest entry to blood relatives?
Genuine question - what is the rationale behind allowing guest entry only for blood relatives?
Blood relatives don’t necessarily live nearby, while friends, cousins, or other relatives may be living in the same city/area and could realistically visit the campus. Meeting them occasionally feels good. So the current restriction feels a bit arbitrary.
I completely understand why guest entry was restricted when things were at their peak and protests were happening around campus. At that point, keeping the gates closed made sense from an institutional/security perspective.
But things have largely normalised now. If most other campus activities and restrictions have been brought back to normal, why is guest entry still not being normalised to how it used to be?
Also, if the concern is that guests might see something on campus and share internal information outside, I'm not sure how effective restricting guests to blood relatives would be as a solution. Students themselves are already part of the campus and can share information outside if they want to.
Would genuinely like to understand the reasoning behind the current policy.
So my message to the Security Team would be simply normalise the things as they were before dont let the student suffer because of those protests !
