Quaid-i-Azam University Cracks Down on Illegal Hostel Occupants

QAU Orders Illegal Hostel Occupants to Vacate Within Three Days

The administration of Quaid-i-Azam University (QAU) has directed all individuals residing illegally in its hostels to vacate the premises immediately.

According to an official notice issued on Monday, unauthorised occupants have been given a strict three-day deadline to leave. The directive applies not only to hostel rooms but also to shared spaces such as common rooms, mess facilities, and study areas.

The administration has warned that disciplinary action will be taken against registered hostel residents found facilitating or allowing illegal occupants to stay within the hostels.

Classes Resume on Campus

In a separate announcement, QAU confirmed that on-campus academic activities have resumed from April 27. The university had temporarily shifted to online classes starting April 20 due to security concerns and traffic disruptions in Islamabad.

Students and faculty members have been instructed to comply with all existing safety measures to ensure the smooth continuation of academic operations.

Administrative Challenges Continue

Meanwhile, the university has been facing administrative difficulties due to a delay of over two months in appointing a new Vice Chancellor. Officials say the absence of a permanent or acting head has affected decision-making processes across the institution.

Over 1,200 degrees remain unsigned and cannot be issued without approval from the incoming Vice Chancellor. Additionally, several important meetings, including syndicate and selection board sessions, have been postponed due to the leadership vacuum.
