HIBAPRESS – Kenitra
A group of students at Ibn Tofail University in Kenitra, belonging to the Faculty of Economics and Management, submitted a complaint to the university administration and the relevant authorities, expressing their deep dissatisfaction with the way the Master's program admission process was managed, which they described as unclear and causing them significant harm.
The students confirmed that they were initially accepted to take the written exam for the Master's program and actually took the exam, only to be surprised later by the rejection of their applications. The rejection of the applications came on the grounds that the Specialized Technician Diploma (DTS) is not accepted at the university, knowing that they were not informed of this in advance, neither during the announcement of the exam nor during pre-registration, where the students filled in all their personal and academic data with full transparency and honesty. The students pointed out that during the written exam, they presented copies of their baccalaureate and bachelor's degrees, and despite that, they were allowed to participate in the exam, which confirms that their applications were accepted at that stage. However, they were surprised afterwards, and due to the delay in procedures resulting from strikes and the adoption of the application status via the electronic platform, by the final rejection of their applications, without providing any alternative solution or convincing explanation from the administration. The students explained that this exclusion led to the loss of a full academic year, leaving them in a difficult and unfair situation, as they had no fault in the sudden and unjustified exclusion decisions. They affirmed that the university should have informed them from the beginning of their ineligibility to take the exam, instead of allowing them to go through all the stages and then rejecting their applications at the last moment, which caused great frustration and a state of psychological and academic injustice. In conclusion of their letter, the students demanded that the administration of Ibn Tofail University, and specifically the Faculty of Economics and Management, consider their situation, and work to find a fair and just solution for them, to ensure that their efforts are not wasted and to achieve their right to continue their academic path without arbitrariness or violation of the laws and regulations in force.
