After the fights the unversity remained closed for two days. The student leaders of Fateh and PFLP, together with another student, are dismissed from University for a certain time. Furthermore, most student members of PFLP got arrested (Fateh is the ruling party). And to really demonstrate, that the conflict is solved, two tables in the cafeteria, that were known to "belong" to the PFLP, were removed from the cafeteria. Well, if that is not some masterpiece of conflict solution...

The university indeed was famous in former times! Due to security concerns and travel restrictions less foreign students and, more important and damaging, less foreign professors find their way to Birzeit. Which has led to a slow decrease in the university's fame.
