Section 11: Discipline of students

(1) Where it appears to the Vice-Chancellor that any student at the University has been guilty of misconduct, the Vice-Chancellor may, without prejudice to any other disciplinary powers conferred on him by regulations, direct that-
(a) the student shall not, during such period as may be specified in the direction, participate in such activities of the University, or make use of such facilities of the University, as may be so specified;
(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;
(c) the student be rusticated for such period as may be specified in the direction;
(d) the student be expelled from the University.
(2) Where a direction is given under paragraph (c) or (d) of the foregoing subsection in respect of any student, the student may, within the prescribed period and in the prescribed manner, appeal from the direction to the Council; and where such an appeal is brought 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 thinks fit.
(3) The fact that an appeal from a direction is brought in pursuance of the last foregoing subsection shall not affect the operation of the direction while the appeal is pending.
(4) Lack of diligence shall be treated as misconduct for the purposes of this section.
(5) Nothing in this section shall be construed as preventing the restriction or termination of a student's activities at the University otherwise than on the ground of misconduct.
