Seventy finalists have been terminated from studies shortly before they sat for their final examinations at Saint Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT).
Vice Chancellor Dr Charles Kitima said yesterday that the students could not be allowed to sit for exams because of indiscipline and absconding classes.
Eleven of the expelled students were barred due to absconding classes while others engaged themselves in other misconduct that breached university regulations. He enumerated some of the vices committed by the finalists as drunkenness, consumption of drugs and promiscuity.
Dr Kitima, who was speaking during inauguration of the new academic year, urged SAUT students especially incoming first year students to work hard in their studies and refrain from engaging in vices.

'The SAUT stance is here to stay. It is up to you to adhere to what brought you here,' the VC intoned. Father Renatus Nkwande, a pastoral representative of the Mwanza Diocese Catholic Bishop Anthony Mayalla, counseled the students to resist vices particularly promiscuity and sodomy. 'The vices were tainting the image of the university run by the church,' the representative noted. ends
