Unhalu admits Ambon students

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: State-run Haluoleo University
(Unhalu) here has admitted 40 Pattimura University students who
fled the riot-torn Maluku capital of Ambon.

The university's head of education and information services,
La Otjo Oti, confirmed over the weekend the students would be
allowed to complete their studies at the institution.

Oti said 28 of the students were registered at the School of
Teacher Training, and six apiece at the School of Social and
Political Sciences and School of Economics.

Most are still in the early part of their studies, he added.

Students will be exempted from registration fees and allowed
to pay their school fees in installments.

"We are also considering scholarships for the students in
order to encourage them to return to school and help them study
in peace," Oti was quoted by Antara as saying.
