Exploits University revokes a degree from its former student for burning her academic qualification on social media

One of the county’s leading private university, Exploits, has revoked a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (BBA) which the institution awarded to Bridget Thapwile Soko after she burnt her degree on social media.
Soko filmed herself on TikTok burning her degree she obtained from Exploits University in frustration for not getting a job since she graduated some four years ago.
Bikoko: Her purpose was to disgrace Exploits University
The development follows a recorded video clip that went viral on social media few weeks ago showing Soko burning the certificate due to unemployment.
In the clip, Soko said she decided to burn the degree and keep her marriage certificate instead because no institution was giving her a job opportunity to engage her or even invite her for a job interview despite having a degree.
But Soko’s frustration that led her to burn her degree has frustrated the Exploits University who have since revoked the degree from her.
“We have learnt with disappointment that you recorded a video clip burning a degree that we awarded to you upon completion of your studies with Exploits University and posted on social media.
“It is our interpretation that you did this to disgrace and tarnish the image of the university,” reads part of the letter addressed to Soko signed by University President Dr. Desmond Bikoko dated 21st October, 2022.
“The university is therefore revoking the degree of business administration awarded to you. Our decision will also be made public through the media.
“Consequently, you are no longer a graduate of Exploits University and as such your degree certificate is invalidated with immediate effect.”

Muli ndi Mwayi ma University ngochepa otherwise your action has the potential of pushing away would be students..nde poti mmalora zirizonse coz nanu ndinu zirizonsezo..ah
My understanding is that she is indeed frustrated. Burning the certificate has nothing to do with Exploit unless she uttered negative words about the University. Anger can be demonstrated in so many ways and burning the certificate is just one of them. We don’t even know how she writes her application letters nor her resume or what kind of jobs she applies for. Exploit should conduct a study and check how they are fairing in their courses to address economic and unemployment issues in the country. It is now even worse with the Chakwera govt, instead of putting policies for job creation, they are creating unemployment. But she should not worry, I remember, I had a friend who couldnt get a job for four years after graduating in 1985. This also shows that Exploits is in pure business establishment and their act is childishness. They have nothing to do with quality and what happens to their alumni.
Exploits university has no right to revoke her certificate which she got through hard work and excellence in her exams. Also she paid her school and mother fees throughout her academic years. They can’t revoke her certificate in any way but should make her students employable after graduation.
This is the most backward act of the so called Fly by Night institutions like Exploits University. Shame on them.
Pay back her tuition fees with interest since she not a graduate o your school, so she can start a business
The whole reaction is laughable, Let them take back the knowledge they imparted into that SmArt brainwashed lady perhaps invalidate it. The whole so called intelligentsia stooping so low to value a mere paper/ “notification”. 😸🤯 game of mind control
In fact, yes the Exploit University has just lived upto its rightful name: Exploiting poor and unsuspecting African students. Just that this time it went into an overdrive, all the way to an overzealous overreach of their powers and mandates. Its time now truth O’clock that every sober minded individuals engage themselves i thoroughly analyzing what depth of mess they delve into by engaging the Exploiting university.
Guess what girl? U just became employed a few dayz ago. How? Sue the Explioter University and get a 20 years worth of employment benefits and pension. They just exposed u to unqualified shame, pain and dilemma upon the usual assualt of not being called even for a mere interview while clutching their degree in your hads! Sue them girl, get your new job in suing these overzealous felaz
I think this proves that Exploits University lives up to its name and exploits its students. No reputable university whatever stoop to such level. The university ought to reinstate her degree and make a statement that it acted childishly and emotionally. The board should also fire President Dr. Desmond Bikoko for authoritarian and and unpresidential behavior.

The degree is hers and cannot be revoked she worked hard for it
The punishment is too stiff.
He is the owner and president. This shows that the degree is not of poor quality. Employers are rejecting Exploits University degree. People are rejecting the university degree
Which degree are they revoking? Are they revoking the ashes? The fact remains: a frustrated Exploits University graduate burnt a ‘useless’ degree she obtained from the institution as she could not secure even an interview for four years since graduation.
What if she was just too lazy to search for jobs, sometimes going to the companies and speaking from your heart helps, other than staying home thinking you will see a vacancy you will be called for interview.
I think the punishment is fitting she has learnt a fucking lesson .. I watched the fucking video she was doing it while laughing as it it was nice .. I think the punishment is not very enough enough even we need to revoke all her certificates she ever did in this life .
Give her back her tuition fees then
With compounding interest and also wasting the time.
Too much expectations to be employed after graduating from tertiary institutions yet the skills gained from school is capable of changing our lives by doing the best we can to establish something better to the world. The little we do brings out the best
What do you expect after bachelors degree?
The University needs to exercise leniency over the student. Her problem is not the degree itself but unemployment. To revoke the degree is double punishment.
This raises questions, if the University counsels its students how they should handle real life situations.
Praying that they will reverse the decision as it does not help their graduate!
Then they must give her back all the school fees she paid
It does not make sense guys!!!, you cannot revoke the Degree, she acted in protest for not helping her. My argument is that when people protest always there is anger that makes it a protest. Therefore, they burn party flags, country flags, clothes that have certain figurines on it no revocation is done for such unruly behaviour as such this studen’ts Degree must be restored.
She must go to court if not done so. We can contest within the law.
What if its the copy of her original Degree, , , , they have hastened their decision otherwise she paid fees to get that paper else they will have to pay her back.
Anangowotcha degree yokhayo akanabweranso kuzayatsa th so called University kkkkk
