Haluoleo uncovers admissions scandal

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: As part of its efforts to maintain
its reputation, Haluoleo University has canceled the diplomas of
six alumni who were found to have gained entry to the university
without going through the proper procedures.

The university, through a rector's letter dated April 19, also
kicked out five students currently studying there who were also
found to have been admitted to the university without following
proper procedures.

All eleven students, from the university's School of
Mathematics and Physics, had previously been expelled from the
Faculty of Public Health at the private Avicenna University, but
somehow had managed to gain admittance to the state-run Haluoleo
University last year. Six of them graduated earlier this year,
but the other five students were still attending classes at
Haluoleo before they were expelled recently. Sahta Ginting, the
vice rector of Haluoleo University, said that the university was
investigating the case and anyone found to have been involved in
wrongdoing would be punished accordingly. -- Antara
