Bayero University Kano (BUK) has suspended 29 students for alleged examination misconduct during the previous academic session.
University management reported that three students were exonerated for one or two semesters, while another three were cleared of any wrongdoing due to insufficient evidence.
This decision impacts both undergraduate and postgraduate students, as confirmed by Aminu Kurawa, the Acting Director of the Directorate of Examinations, Admissions, and Records, in a press statement.
The university’s actions underscore its commitment to maintaining academic integrity and upholding high standards of student conduct.
“The Senate at its 413 meeting held on 3rd July, 2024, expelled 29 students, rusticate 3 and warned 15 others for being found involved in examination misconduct.
“The decision was in accordance with General Examinations and Academic Regulations (GEAR) and of General Regulations Governing Postgraduate Studies (GRGPS) respectively,” the statement noted.
