A month after Balochistan University’s Vice Chancellor Dr. Javed Iqbal stepped down to allow an inquiry into allegations that the administration used surveillance videos to blackmail students, the university has come up with a ‘solution’ for sexual harassment.

According to a notice by the university, “Strict compliance to all students admitted in BS/Masters Study Programmes, that wearing of student uniforms…shall be mandatory.” This notice will be in effect for March 1st 2020.

“After March 1, 2020 no student (boy/girl) will be allowed to enter into the university premises without wearing the prescribed uniform,” the statement added.

The protests started in October when 20 students filed complaints that the university administration allegedly blackmailed students with video recordings from CCTV cameras. The administration then asked for sexual favours, marriage proposals and “friendship messages”, students told SAMAA TV.

Women left their hostels to go back home since they weren’t feeling comfortable at the university.

The Federal Investigation Authority (FIA) was ordered by the Balochistan High Court to investigate the matter.

The FIA said that the investigation is in the final stages but not a single employee of the university has been arrested. Balochistan parliament set up a 10-member committee to also monitor the issue but no further details have been given since October.
