The protests were fueled by allegations that the institution\u2019s ambulance failed to respond promptly during the medical emergency, a delay they claim may have cost the student\u2019s life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FB_IMG_1774098380587.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1744\" src=\"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FB_IMG_1774098380587-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livenation254.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FB_IMG_1774098380587-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livenation254.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FB_IMG_1774098380587-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/livenation254.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FB_IMG_1774098380587-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/livenation254.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FB_IMG_1774098380587.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Eyewitnesses and fellow students expressed outrage, accusing the university of negligence and lack of preparedness in handling emergencies.
