The Senate of Federal University, Dutse, Jigawa State, has approved the expulsion of 20 students and rustication of 15 others over their involvement in examination malpractice.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Director, Academic Affairs, Malam Nora Dannatta, and issued in Dutse by the university’s Director of Public Affairs, Abdullahi Yahaya-Bello, on Wednesday.
The statement indicated that the action was based on the recommendations of the Senate Committee on Examination Misconduct for the Second Semester, 2024/2025 Academic Session.
It disclosed that the senate also approved the exoneration of two students and a written warning to three others.
“The decision was in accordance with the categories of offences and punishments governing both the undergraduate and postgraduate studies, and those affected were drawn from various faculties and departments of the university,” it read in part. (NAN)
