The University High Council of the Central University of the East (UCE) decided yesterday to close UCE’s provincial extension campuses in El?as Pi?a, Las Matas de Farf?n, Monte Plata and Dajab?n. The Council said that students attending classes on these campuses could continue their studies at UCE’s main campus or one of the few remaining extension campuses. Although no reason was cited officially, one Council member told the news daily El Siglo that "there were problems with the physical plant." Most of the facilities used by UCE for its extension campuses belong to the Education Ministry.
