A student at the Hailey College of Banking and Finance, Punjab University, who asked not to be named, has said:
No online classes are being conducted at the moment. Online classes started in March and were called off in May. Now we have holidays until August. Some students have already paid their semester fees while some haven’t. There is a bit of confusion regarding the implementation of the fee concession announced recently. If the university is going to apply the fee waiver equally to all students for this semester, it must reimburse the fees, barring tuition fees, of students who have already paid.
