According to the AUT, students are reportedly submitting “any material” as dissertations, with chairpersons arbitrarily assigning marks in the absence of a formal defense before an academic board.
The AUT has warned that this practice risks producing graduates who lack essential knowledge and skills, damaging the credibility of UZ degrees and potentially turning the institution into a “banana university” where standards are sacrificed for expediency. “By abandoning essential academic rituals such as supervision and defence, UZ risks producing graduates who lack the necessary knowledge and skills. “This scandal severely damages the credibility of UZ degrees, undermining the institution’s reputation nationally and internationally. “The absence of proper academic oversight highlights how UZ has devolved into an institution where standards are sacrificed for expediency,” the association stated.
