Bayero University expels 63 students, rusticates 13 others

The Bayero University, Kano (BUK), has expelled 63 students and rusticated 13 others for one year for their involvement in various forms of examination misconduct.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Director, Examination, Admissions and Records (DEAR), Amina Umar-Abdullahi and issued to newsmen in Kano on Friday.

According to her, the action followed a recommendation earlier submitted by the Senate Committee on Examinations Misconduct and Leakages approved on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, at the 374th meeting of the highest decision making body of the institution.

She said the expelled students included 10 from the School of Postgraduate Studies, 10 from the School of Continuing Education and seven each from the Faculties of Basic Medical Sciences and Computer Science.

“However, the Faculties of Education and Management Sciences have six each and Engineering, FEES and Physical Sciences four and three, respectively.

“The Faculty of Arts and Islamic Studies has two expelled students and Faculties of Communication, Allied Health Sciences and Life Sciences have the least number of affected candidates with only one student each.”

She said the Senate had equally directed that 19 other students be served with warning letters for other infractions.
