15 students involved in recent fatal hazing ritual at Thai university expelled

[webfact]

 

The Rajamangala University of Technology Isan-Nakhon Ratchasima has decided to expel 15 second-year students, after finding that they organised an illegal hazing ritual, after which a first-year student died.

 

10 other second-year students, who were involved in the ritual but not in the assault, have had the results of their first semester examinations invalidated. 5 other second-year students and 37 first-year students have had their behavioural scores cut by ten points for allegedly supporting the illegal activity.

 

The disciplinary action was ordered by the rector of the university, following a probe into an assault on a first-year student outside the campus on March 13th.

Remember kids....we would rather you don't savagely murder your classmates. But if you do, we may have to expel you from school.

“5 other second-year students and 37 first-year students have had their behavioural scores cut by ten points for allegedly supporting the illegal activity.”

Fits right in with China’s social score. 
Or closing down access to your bank acct.  ????

Expel all of them... send out the message, engage or even be present at a hazing and your complicit in the action.

[Bangkok Barry]

Any manslaughter charges? Then they wouldn't need to be expelled as they wouldn't be able to attend classes.

[SomchaiCNX]

What about that rector? Will he have to face a judge?

While I don't recall any fellow pupil dying from the institutional bullying at my private secondary school, if expulsion were the result all second, third, fourth and fifth years would have been gone.

However my first year was the last in which it was permitted. Prefects were still allowed to beat juniors with a sand shoe, and I don't know when that ended.

those were the good ol' days.  Educational standards have nose-dived since physical punishment was banned in schools ????   Now kids going to university in UK can hardly write English or do simple maths ............

So they penalised the other victims (first year students) of this illegal activity, the ones who survived?

Remember that the university will lose their income from expelled students. I understand that higher education is not free in Thailand so this is a major step.

What else would you expect the school to do ?

Expelling them is the most severe action a school can take

That's a bit simplistic and IMO there are a lot of factors at work.

Too many trendy ideas implemented that didn't/ don't work

Reluctance of males to be teachers for very good reason

The no loser culture

Bad teachers

Woke policies

PC policies

Too much of allowing students to decide how/ what they want to learn.

Bad parents

Culture

Etc.

 

Apparently NZ has a high % of students that can barely read and write, yet teachers think they deserve higher pay!

[Will B Good]

There must have been a thorough check made that none of these kids were hi-sos before being thrown out......imagine???
