IMSU Expels 60 Students Over Poor Grades

According to Channels TV, the management of Imo State University (IMSU), Owerri has expelled about 60 students of the institution including those in final year for making below 1.00 grade points.

Are you for real? Below 1.0 grade point???

Those who made above 1.00 but below 1.5 grade points for the 2011/ 2012 session were asked to repeat.

The acting Vice Chancellor of IMSU, Professor Ukachukwu Aloysius Awuzie said the Senate of the Institution initiated the measure in order to encourage seriousness.


Professor Awuzie explained that they want to be sure that Imo State University Owerri regained its position as one of the best universities in the country.

He said the society will not be better if schools continue to graduate students who cannot defend their certificates.

Some students commended the authority for the new policy and stressed that the leadership of Professor Awuzie and students of Imo State University must work hard to learn and merit their certificates.

The students argued that the notice came too late as the institution had started exams.

They maintained that the school’s management should rescind the decision and allow everybody to continue; stating that it was at the detriment of any student who graduates with poor result.
