KU choked by protests on exams, fees, funds
Demonstration tensions gripped University of Karachi on Monday as learners, faculty and employees took to the streets in separate but overlapping demonstrations over cancelled examinations, rising fees and a deepening financial and administrative crisis at the institution.
The protests were organised by Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba and a student alliance, who staged a general demonstration and later marched from Terminal Point to Pharmacy Chowk, raising slogans against university policies and repeated academic disruptions.
Participants charged individual the governing body of “turning learning into a joke,” saying learners who travel long distances and prepare diligently are repeatedly confronted with postponed or boycotted examinations.
They stated such uncertainty was causing severe mental stress and academic loss, adding that despite heavy fees, basic facilities on campus remain inadequate. Protesters also blamed ongoing disputes between faculty and governing body for directly harming learners’ academic progress, urging both sides to resolve their issues urgently.
