According to a professor of the university, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the militants suspended the classes and postponed the exams following the seizure on Thursday.
The move came a day after dozens of gunmen, who brandished the ISIL’s flag, paraded through the streets of the city. The militants were heavily armed, the reports said.
Earlier in the month, the alleged ISIL militants seized a state-run radio station in Sirte. A former local official said the militants also established a headquarters in the city center.
