Arthur Jarvis University in Cross River State has taken disciplinary action against 10 students, expelling five and suspending five others for bullying, truancy, and misconduct.

According to a statement by the university’s acting registrar, Mary Dan-Abia, the decision was made after a disciplinary panel reviewed evidence and heard from the affected students.

The five expelled students were involved in two incidents of fighting and gang bullying, which occurred on December 12, 2024, and January 18, 2025, respectively.

“After thoroughly reviewing the evidence and other information presented during the hearing, the panel, in consultation with principal officers including the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, and Registrar, delivered the verdict,” the statement read.

The statement further noted that “five students directly involved in the incidents were expelled, while five others with lesser involvement received suspensions: three for one month and two for two weeks. The affected students have since vacated the university campus.”

The decision comes just days after the Chancellor urged students to steer clear of vices and misconduct. The Chancellor emphasised that any student found guilty of drug use, possession, peddling, or smuggling on campus would face automatic expulsion.

“The verdict serves as a deterrent to other students and a powerful reminder that respect for others and adherence to the rules of the university are non-negotiable,” the statement read.

The university’s stance on discipline was further reinforced by the statement, which quoted the Chancellor as saying, “For the expelled, the suspended, and every other student, the message is clear and unmistakable: No student is above the rules.
