Last month, the University was closed indefinitely with the Senate citing 'deteriorating security' as the major reason behind the closure.
The students were protesting the alleged brutality police meted out on them and blamed Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Mbithi for the incident.
During the protests, students demanded the immediate resignation of the VC who admitted he had invited the police to control unrest in the institution.

Following the closure, a group of students gathered outside the Vice Chancellor's office demanding a refund of school fees.
The students accused Professor Mbithi of "wasting their time and money" by abruptly shutting down the institution following demonstrations.
