Disturbances in Tanta

After the revolution succeded at removing a 30years old regime,causing the tyrant to flee to Sharm El-Sheikh,everyone started dreaming of New Egypt.Among these dreamers were the students of Tanta University.They dreamt of a better education,better laboratories,of some respect from their Porfessors who treated them like garbage (not all of them though,but the majority were treating students badly).
The believe in changing these dreams from a mere dream to a fact,a reality on the ground grew bigger when Deans (some of the Faculties Deans not all of them) announced they're willing to hear out the students,see their demands.
So,students made their lists of demands, were very rational about it.made a list of demands that can be achieved now and other demands that would take time, effort and money to achieve it and they were willing to wait till these demands are executed. After all,rush in reforms can result in bad reforms.
The surprise was how the Deans reacted towards these demands.between procrastinating in carrying them out and threats of firing all students who came to the meetings to submit their list of demands,Deans varied in how severe they reacted but the result was the same...Nothing was accomplished!
It was normal that Students decide to protest for their rights and for the resignation of the Head of University who was appointed in her position only because she worked with Suzanne Mubarak at a time and she's a woman (or at least,so the students believe)

it's worth mentioning that the University administration gave us a deadline by which we should have agreed, as students, upon an outline for the final exams schedule. Couple of days later,there was a white paper on the board...the final exams schedule. I think this showed us how committed they, the University administration I mean, are committed to our demands.
