The University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (UAF) has expelled one of its gold medalist students who criticised a musical event organised by the university in his Facebook post.
According to a private TV channel report, Kashan Haider Gilani, a PhD student, received university notice stating that he is being expelled for “defaming the university image” through an act of “indiscipline and misconduct.”
The student was expelled for “defaming university image on programmes arranged in connection with Kisan Mela 2015, spreading wrong information, misleading student community on social media, showing disrespect to university and its administration, initiating an undesirable and unwanted debate about programmes on social media, damaging repute and bringing bad name to university,” according to a notice issued to him.
Last week, the student was directed to present his written and verbal explanation before a disciplinary committee that decided Gilani’s fate.
