LUMS Students Ready To Protest Against Administration If Grievances Not Sorted Soon
via https://youtu.be/sVA1C5B8_ts Earlier this week, hundreds flocked to a Facebook live session hosted by the LUMS admin. The hashtag was particularly intriguing since it had been making rounds on twitter the past couple weeks, at times making trends reflecting the resounding call of the LUMS student body to help address their concerns regarding administration which later triggered a protest. Despite most universities opening up throughout the country, the LUMS admin has decided to take the easier route by refusing to open the campus. This is a particularly burning issue in the wake of insensitive “welcome back” content making rounds on the LUMS Instagram page, another social media platform that was filled with student pleas against the injustices of the admin. LUMS administration tortures students amidst worst pandemic LUMS had recently been under fire as a result of an undue fee hike, that too in the middle of a pandemic when most people are losing jobs. Things took a turn for the worse when it was revealed that the LUMS administration would continue to take the same amount of fees despite not welcoming students back and this was enough for the students to protest. It was found that the admin has no strategy or willingness to welcome students back on campus and has refused to invest in capacity building measures to at least ensure that students can be welcomed back in Spring. The LUMS admin time and again has refused to address student concerns resulting in undue hostility where students are pressing towards rogue measures, some even citing a potential protest that could be underway.
