University Price Hikes and Student Protests

Price hikes at universities continue to provoke student reactions. Eskişehir Anadolu University has drawn attention by increasing rents by 100%.
Rents have risen from 60,000 TL to 120,000 TL, forcing many shopkeepers to close their businesses. İYİ Party Odunpazarı District President Gürol Yer criticized this situation in a press statement.

Students are also protesting against the increase in meal prices. At Istanbul University, meal prices have risen from 25 TL to 35 TL.

Students state that these increases add to their economic burden and demand that the hikes be reversed.
