Deakin University has suspended nine international student among a large group investigated for submitting work they had not completed themselves.
Chris Kelly, deputy dean of business and law, said about 100 students had been investigated over “inconsistencies and irregularities” in a group assignment late last year.
The university lodged formal allegations of academic misconduct against 30 of the students, and expelled nine of them following hearings. None appealed the penalties.
The university declined to say what had happened to the other 21 students, citing privacy considerations.
Kelly said academic misconduct was “a constant challenge which affects all universities globally”.
