Disorders caused the suspension of any further admission of foreigners to the Czech universities, making it impossible for many victims of the numerus clausus to continue their studies.

The Ministry of Education is trying to relieve Prague by transferring a number of the foreign students to universities in Bruenn and Bratislava. On the other hand, the government declines to introduce the numerus clausus because it would be incompatible with democracy. In the meantime the police are suppressing attempts at disorders at the universities in Bruenn.
