3 Maties students disciplined for Nazi-inspired posters
Cape Town – Three University of Stellenbosch students, who were temporarily suspended for Nazi-like posters which were put up around campus, have been found guilty of contravening the student disciplinary code.
In a hearing concluded by the university’s central disciplinary committee this week, it was found that they had acted contrary to two provisions, the university said on Friday.
The first stated that a student should not act in a manner that was racist, unfairly discriminatory, violent, grossly insulting, abusive or intimidating against another person.
This clause extended to conduct that was intended to humiliate, or which attacked the dignity of another.
According to the second relevant clause, a student should not act in such a way that disrupts, or potentially disrupts the maintenance of order and discipline at the university.
