According to a press release issued by EUTA, the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) must urgently reverse this decision because universities across the province face financial difficulties. Still, the provincial government has refused to tackle the issues.

EUTA office-bearers chastised the provincial government for approving a big plan for Rs. 14 billion university in Swat, even though other existing universities are facing financial difficulties.
