The President further highlighted that HU made access to quality education possible by providing students up to 70% discounts in fees which was made possible through the generous support of the community. As the first Liberal Arts centered university offering science courses, HU was well placed to tackle the issue of the contextual disconnect by integrating Liberal Arts and Sciences with Pakistan\u2019s challenges; the establishment of the Industry Advisory Board was another step in tackling the issue.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #808080;\">President Rizvi pointed out the Dhanani family\u2019s contribution will go a long way in ensuring that future generations of students will be able to benefit from a cutting edge facility for a long time to come.
