FUUAST students stage protest against fee hike

August 24, 2023 by Abid Khan

The students of Urdu University closed road for traffic.
The students demands withdrawal of fee hike.
FUUAST constituted committee to review fees.

KARACHI: The students of the Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science, and Technology (FUUAST) on Thursday staged a protest demonstration against a 50 percent increase in fees.

The students of Federal Urdu University closed the road for traffic by protesting against the 50 percent increase in fees. The protesters were carrying banners and placards inscribed with different slogans like; justice for students, withdrawal fee hike nonfiction, and others.

The student organizations protested against the increase in fees at Federal Urdu University Abdul Haq Campus and Gulshan Iqbal Campus. The students staged a sit-in on the university road and blocked one of the highways of the university road for traffic, due to which the flow of traffic was affected.

The law enforcement agencies(LEA) are also present to control the situation.

The protesting students say that government university fees are a move to keep middle-class students away from education which is not acceptable and the fee hike should be withdrawn immediately.
The students said that the protest would continue till the refund of fees.

On the other hand, after negotiations between the students and the university administration, a committee was constituted to review the fees.

Addressing a press conference Acting Vice-Chancellor FUUAST Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ziauddin said that the increase in fees was done in the light of the instructions of the Higher Education Commission (HEC).

He clarified that the perception of a 50 percent increase in fees is wrong as only a 10 percent increase was made earlier this year, but now the revision committee will consider it further and come up with a workable solution.
He said the hike in fees has become inevitable due to the deteriorating financial conditions of the university and the increase in expenses and salaries.

President orders FUUAST to award unfairly withheld degree to student

January 3, 2023 by Abid Khan

President directed PBM to redress the grievances of the student.
He directed FUUAST to issue the degree to the student in 15 days.
FUUAST unfairly and unjustly withheld the issuance of degree.

ISLAMABAD: President Dr Arif Alvi on Tuesday expressed his displeasure over callous and heartless act of the Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology (FUUAST) to withhold the issuance of a transcript and degree to a BBA student due to procedural hiccups between the university and Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal (PBM).

While rejecting the representation against the decision of the Wafaqi Mohtasib (WM), the president directed PBM to redress the grievances of the aggrieved student.

He also directed FUUAST to issue the degree and transcript to the student within 15 days.

The president observed that the university was well aware that the student was pursuing his education on a need-based scholarship under the Ehsaas Scholarship Programme paid by PBM directly to the University.

But instead of resolving the late fees payment issue with PBM, the FUUAST unfairly and unjustly withheld the issuance of degree and transcript to the student who had no role in the payment of fees.

President Alvi upheld the Wafaqi Mohtasib order wherein the Mohtasib had remitted the impugned matter to the PBM chairman for its resolution directly with FUUAST and notwithstanding its resolution, issue the transcript and BBA degree to the aggrieved student.

As per information, student Abad-ur-Rehman (the complainant) had preferred an appeal seeking interference of WM for issuance of the BBA degree and transcript which was withheld by FUUAST due to non-payment of outstanding dues of Rs 122,500 which was payable by PBM directly to the FUUAST without any involvement of the student.
