Actor Mahira Khan is frustrated and ‘sad’ at the Institute of Business Management’s recent measures to defend harassment.
IBA Karachi has kindled protests across the nation as a result of expelling a student, Jibrael, for revealing an alleged case of harassment on campus.
Amongst many actors who are speaking up with their support for the student, it is now Mahira who has voiced her opinion as well.
Taking it to her Twitter on Thursday, Mahira named the university’s act of expulsion ‘shameful.’
“Shameful. Sad. #IBAKarachi @ibakarachi,” wrote Mahira also tagging IBA.
In a statement released by the university, IBA stated that the student was expelled because he did not report the alleged harassment through ‘right channels.’
“The IBA is an institute that is known for its disciplinary rules, policies, and the IBA Code of Conduct, which applies to all members of the faculty, staff and students,” stated IBA in a statement.
“The IBA has provided the channels and processes that need to be followed when any matter of concern arises, despite that, if any individual chooses to opt for ways and means that disrupt the ethics, values and standards of the IBA, the administration has zero-tolerance for any such behaviour,” the university notice further mentioned.
