The letter of the President of the Student Council

“This year, there have already been cases of forgery of official documents, assault on a public official, misuse of ammunition, suspected misuse of a weapon, attempted fraudulent obtaining of an advantage during an examination and obtaining an advantage, presenting false claims as facts and taking advantage of them,”

wrote Máté Bihari, and asked the students to refrain from such actions, as the faculty management investigates all such cases and informs the police about the crimes or apparent incidents, Debreciner.hu writes.

Bihari added that actions which do not constitute a criminal offence but which are in breach of university rules are investigated by the Faculty Disciplinary Committee, which may decide to terminate the student’s academic status.
