The University of Ilorin has expelled 44 students of the institution over various acts of misconduct.

The list of the affected students which cuts across various departments and faculties was pasted at the designated students’ notice boards on the university main campus.

Among the expelled as observed by our correspondent who visited the university yesterday were two students who have been in the university since 2003 for a four-year course.

It was gathered that the expulsion was the outcome of the Students’ Disciplinary Committee (SDC) meeting of February, 2013 which sat on various acts of misconduct levelled against the students. They students were said to have been involved in examination malpractice and belonging to unregistered associations among others.
