The Plateau State University (PLASU) Senate has taken disciplinary action against 76 students found guilty of examination malpractice. The students' offenses included smuggling unauthorized materials into examination halls and impersonation, which are in violation of the university's regulations outlined in the Students' Handbook.

The sanctions, which were ratified during the Senate's 102nd regular meeting, include being rusticated for one academic session, having to carry over affected courses, and in severe cases, being expelled outright. The meeting, chaired by Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Moses Pyefa Galadima, also ratified final-year undergraduate and postgraduate results for the 2024/2025 academic session.

The Examination Misconduct Committee investigated the 76 students who were apprehended during the second semester examination for the 2024/2025 academic session. Their offenses included possessing mobile phones, written notes, and having inscriptions on body parts related to examination questions. After deliberations, the Senate approved punishments consistent with the provisions of the Students' Handbook.

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Shadrach Gaya Best, reaffirmed the university's zero tolerance for examination malpractice, emphasizing PLASU's commitment to integrity, discipline, and sound moral values. He commended the examination misconduct committee for its diligence and adherence to due process.

In addition to disciplinary matters, the Senate approved results for 400 level students, as well as Masters' and PGD students' results. Reports from faculties confirmed that lectures for the new semester resumed two weeks earlier across departments. The Director of ICT, Mr. Sati Dapel, presented updates on ongoing digital reforms to ease students' registration.

The Senate concluded by reaffirming its commitment to upholding academic standards, promoting discipline, and enhancing administrative efficiency at Plateau State University.
