TASUED expels 25 students, suspends 58 others

Authorities of the Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED), Ijagun, Ogun State, have expelled 25 students and suspended 58 others indefinitely for various misconducts.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Registrar of the institution, Dapo Oke, and made available to newsmen, on Tuesday.

The erring students were said to have committed offences ranging from forgery; threat to life; examination malpractices among other fraudulent acts.

Oke said the disciplinary action was recommended by the Examination Malpractice and Students’ Disciplinary Committee and approved by the Senate of the University at its Statutory meeting on July 31, 2024.

The affected students were therefore urged to stay away from the university as they would have the law and the security personnel of the institution to contend with if they refuse to abide by this directive.

The statement partly reads “The Senate, at its Statutory meeting of 31st July 2024 has approved that Ojo Micheal, a 200-level student in the Computer Science Department be rusticated for the 2023/2024 Academic session for forgery of CGPA to contest Student Union Elections.

“17 other students got rusticated for examination malpractice, 5 for threat to life and 1 other for the fraudulent act.

47 students were found guilty of misconduct and were thus given indefinite suspension and another 10 for impersonation.

“Other various punishments were also meted out for various misconducts as recommended by the Examination Malpractice and Students’ Disciplinary Committee.

“The affected students have been advised in their interest to stay off the Campus to avoid being embarrassed by the University Security Personnel”.
