He warned that any student found guilty of misconduct, including document forgery, falsification of academic information, impersonation, or participation in financial fraud, will be subject to legal prosecution and dismissal from the university.
“All students are expected to uphold the highest standards of discipline, integrity, and responsibility. Violations of university regulations will not be tolerated, and disciplinary actions, including legal consequences and expulsion, will be enforced to maintain order and protect the academic community.”
