PUDUCHERRY: Students and parents have condemned the direction of Pondicherry University to them to pay a full semester fee even though covid-19 pandemics are sustainable.
Student forum representatives are called the university’s direction as “unfounded and insensitive.” They show that even private schools have been directed by Madras High Court to collect only 75% of school fees and it is also in the same two installments when people have lost their livelihoods Because of locking during a pandemic.
They regret that the central university insists on them to pay full fees without expanding sports, libraries and computer facilities.
“The demand is not acceptable because there are no university facilities that are currently being used now.
We do not have access to classrooms or laboratories and students are in their homes.
Why are students currently paying facilities that are not used,” asked the president of the Student Council of the Parichay Yadav and Secretary .
V Kurusan in a shared statement.
They show that people have lost their jobs and face wage cuts and will not be able to pay a fully fee.
“We all face a pandemic who has paralyzed the economy.
Forcing students to pay a large amount of semester fees now, it also by public education institutions, unacceptable,” said the statement.
They urged universities not to pressure students to pay full fees.
“We hope the university will make a decision that, besides that it is practical, correctly morally,” they said.
