Calls have emerged in Kathmandu, Nepal, to dismantle political party-affiliated student unions in order to separate academic institutions from partisan control. Proponents of this view argue that while political parties have historical contributions, these do not grant them a license to dominate universities and student bodies.

Critics of the current system contend that party affiliation compromises academic integrity and institutional autonomy, necessitating a structural separation between political organizations and higher education.
