Ain Shams University confirms that it is monitoring the false claims circulating on some social media platforms regarding an incident attributed to an engineering student, alleging that he committed suicide due to financial pressures.
The university emphasizes that these claims are completely unfounded and have no basis in reality. Neither the university nor the Faculty of Engineering has witnessed any such incident.
In keeping with the university's commitment to transparency and clarifying the facts, it has been determined that the source of these rumors is an individual who is not a current student. He is a graduate of the Faculty of Engineering, having enrolled several years ago and graduated in 2023. He has no current affiliation with the university or its students.
The university clarifies that his statements fall within the context of disseminating inaccurate information and exhibiting undisciplined behavior, and cannot in any way be considered representative of the actual situation within the university.
Ain Shams University affirms that supporting students is a top priority, providing a comprehensive social welfare system that includes tuition fee exemptions, flexible payment plans, and full support for financially disadvantaged students, ensuring that no student faces academic hardship due to financial circumstances.
The university expresses its regret over the spread of such inaccurate and unreliable rumors, which cause unnecessary confusion and public outcry.
The university urges media outlets and social media users to verify information and obtain it from official sources, and not to be misled by unverified news.
The university also affirms its full legal right to take the necessary measures against those spreading these false rumors.
