JNU Partially Rolls Back Fee Hike After Protests

Students union not convinced, calls the decision a gimmick

- 

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Executive Council’s decision to “partially roll back” a hostel fee increase on Wednesday failed to pacify students who have been protesting against it since October 28. The JNU Students’ Union called the “rollback” a gimmick and demanded a complete scrapping of the planned increase. The union added that the university had not communicated anything to it and that the media was the only source of information.
