The management of university of Ibadan wants to expel 328 students for what it called shameful academic results in recently concluded 2016/2017 academic session.
Professor Idowu Olayinka, the vice chancellor in a statement obtained on Wednesday, however; blamed the situation on the absence of post -unified tertiary matriculation examination test before the; affected students and others in their set were; admitted.
Olayinka said that the university complied the list of the affected students following the meeting of the university senate held on march 19 and 20 to deliberate on the final year and non- final year students.
He said that the affected student did not meet up with the minimum condition approved by the university senate.
He said one out of every nine of the 100 level students did not meet the minimum condition to retain their studentship.
It can be; observed that students in the science -based disciplines, in particular, did not perform too well, with the pass rate being; lowest at 67.5 per cent at the faculty of veterinary medicine. On the other hand, the humanities- based disciplines posted better results, with the best coming from the 2016/2017 session.
Olayinka then expressed optimism for a better academic performance since the new intakes for 2017/2018 session were; those who sat for and passed the post UTME Test.
