The Vice-Chancellor of Osun State University, Professor Clement Adebooye, cautioned new students to avoid social vices that could jeopardize their studentship during the matriculation ceremony for part-time degree students at the Olagunsoye Oyinlola Auditorium on the Osogbo campus.
He highlighted the university’s strict stance against cultism and other forms of indiscipline that could damage its reputation. Professor Adebooye, represented by Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Academic, Research Innovation, and Partnerships, Professor Adetunji Kehinde, urged students to concentrate on their academic and professional aspirations.
He emphasized, “As you embark on this academic journey, it’s vital to remember the core values of our institution. Osun State University upholds the highest standards of discipline, and you are expected to adhere strictly to the regulations governing student conduct. Let me be clear: any student found engaging in negative behaviors such as examination malpractice, cultism, or misconduct will face severe disciplinary actions, including potential expulsion. We take pride in our zero-tolerance policy against any actions that could tarnish this esteemed institution’s reputation.”
Acknowledging that many part-time students are mature individuals balancing multiple responsibilities, he expressed confidence in their ability to demonstrate exemplary behavior while focusing on their academic goals.
