Three major universities in Kashmir—Kashmir University (KU), Islamic University of Science and Technology (IUST), and Sheri Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST-K)—have terminated their memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with the Kashmir Care Foundation, a non-profit based in Atlanta, USA. This decision, made last month, comes less than a year after the agreements were signed. Officials cited 'adverse reports' from internal reviews as the reason for the cancellations. The IUST invoked a force majeure clause in its termination, stating that no financial or contractual liabilities had been accrued. Similarly, Kashmir University expressed that the MoU was not in its interest and confirmed that no funds were solicited or disbursed during its validity. The MoUs were established at different times last year, but all three universities have now opted to end their collaborations with the foundation.
