All of them are pretty much HEC scholars so I am sure they have their own opinions, and they were relating how some of Atta's policies were pretty absurd. During the dinner I talked to some, and they said that there were some scams being pulled because alot of these students came here and managed to get funding from the university directly, and they exepected that the HEC funds from Pakistan would rolloever if they didnt use them. So when the university stopped funding those students, the HEC just told them since they didnt use their allocated funding for 3 years, they wont get it. On papers, those that money was spent, God knows where (something that happens very frequently in Pakistan). So hence alot of these students would have to come back without completing their PhDs unless they get funding from the university. There are about 35-50 HEC scholars there, and only one guy, who happens to be a Brig. didnt get his funding revoked.
