300 students face dismissal

PURWOKERTO, Central Java: Around 30 percent of some 14,700
students of state Jendral Sudirman University are facing
dismissal for failing to pay their tuition fees for over four
semesters.

"We have suspended the studies of some 300 students as they've
failed to pay properly for their tuition, despite the fact that
we've been lenient with them so far," Rector Rubiyanto Misman
said on Friday.

The university has given the students until next month to pay
their tuition fees, otherwise they must leave their studies, he
said.

"We have no option as the credibility of this university is at
stake and it is impossible for us to provide all students with
free tuition," the rector added. (45/edt)
