Redeemer's University 'Re-admits' 28 Students Who Were Expelled For Failing Drug Tests

In February 2013, 28 students of Redeemer's University were expelled by the university for allegedly failing drug tests. The tests were conducted last November for 42 students and they were expelled shortly before they could write their first semester examinations.

The expulsion generated a lot of criticisms causing the school to rescind its decision in April. The school wrote letters to the affected students asking them to face a panel to explain why they failed the test, after which the panel would make a new judgement.

Well, the school has reviewed the case and has decided to re-admit all 28 students on the condition that the students will miss a whole semester and go for five month rehabilitation at a rehab centre. A decision that didn't go down well with the affected students and their parents.
