KCA University dismisses forged letter on caning students

A viral letter going online that KCA University has introduced caning of rogue students is fake, says the institution.

In the viral letter dated 1st July and titled “Introduction of caning to disobedient and disrespectful students”, indiscipline students were to receive not less than 15 strokes of canes.

According to the fake letter, the new measure was to take effect on May-August trimester.

In a press statement released on Monday, the University said the origin of the letter was not from the university administration.

“We wish to inform the students, staff and the general public that the memo referenced ‘Introduction of canning of disobedient and disrespectful date 1st July 2019 is a forged document,” said the University in a statement.

The institution further urged its stakeholders to disregard it and instead keep abiding by the existing rules and regulations of the institution.

The institution added that investigation into the origin of the fake letter has already been launched.
