Section 13: Discipline of students.

(1) The Council may make rules providing for the Rector to conduct enquiries into alleged breaches of discipline (including lack of diligence) by students and such rules may make different provisions for different circumstances.
(2) The rules shall provide for the procedure and rule of evidence to be followed at enquiries under this section.
(3) Subject to the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, where it is proved during the enquiry that any student of the School has been guilty of misconduct, the Rector may, without prejudice to any other disciplinary powers conferred on him by this Act or any regulations made thereunder, direct that-
(a) the student shall not, during such period as may be specified in the direction, participate in such activities of the School or make use of such facilities of the School, as he may specify ; or
(b) the activities of the student shall, during such period as may be specified in the direction, be restricted in such manner as may be so specified ; or
(c) the student be suspended for such period as may be specified in the direction ; or
(d) the student be expelled from the School.
(4) Where there is temporarily no Rector or where the Rector refuses to apply any disciplinary measures, the Council may, either directly or through some other staff, apply such disciplinary actions as are specified in subsection (3) of this section to any student of the School who is guilty of misconduct.
(5) Where a direction is given under subsection (3) (c) or (d) of this section in respect of any student, the student may, within 21 days from the date of the letter communicating the decision to him, appeal to the Council and the Council shall, after causing such inquiry to be made in the matter, as the Council considers just, either confirm or set aside the direction or modify it in such manner as the Council may think fit.
(6) The fact that an appeal from a direction is brought in pursuance of subsection (5) of this section shall not affect the operation of the direction, while the appeal is pending.
(7) The Rector may delegate his powers under this section to a disciplinary committee, consisting of such staff of the School as he may nominate.
(8) Nothing in this section shall be construed as preventing the restriction or termination of student's activities at the School otherwise than on the ground of misconduct.
(9) It is hereby declared that a direction under subsection (3)(a) of this section may be combined with a direction under subsection (3)(b) of this section.
(10) In all cases under this section, the decision of the Council shall be final, unless reversed by the Minister, on appeal by the student.
