Summer semester at Faculty of Arts to start according to original schedule

The summer semester at Prague’s Faculty of Arts will start on February 19, according to the original schedule, the faculty’s dean said at a press conference on Thursday. The faculty will remain closed at least until the end of January.

Teaching will take place in all of the faculty’s buildings, including the main building on Jan Palach Square. The only exception is the fourth floor of the building, which will probably remain closed for the entire summer semester.

More than 130 doors were destroyed in the tragic incident in which a student shot 14 people at the faculty on December 21. The cost of the overall damages to the building are now yet known.
