In a move to uphold academic integrity, the management of Ebonyi State University has taken disciplinary action against 14 students involved in examination malpractice and other forms of misconduct.
The university announced that the students faced various sanctions, including suspension and outright expulsion, after investigations confirmed their involvement in unethical academic practices.
The Vice-Chancellor of the institution emphasized that the crackdown on malpractice aligns with the school’s commitment to maintaining educational standards. He warned that any student found engaging in fraudulent academic activities would face severe consequences.
This development has sparked discussions among students and academic stakeholders, with some praising the decision as necessary for preserving the credibility of the university, while others argue that institutions should focus on preventive measures, such as improved monitoring and stricter exam protocols.
