Moscow university tightens expulsion rules as students allege military recruitment drive

Russia’s Moscow Institute of Radio Engineering, Electronics, and Automation (MIREA) has changed its student expulsion policy, students at the university told the Russian Telegram news channel Ostorozhno Novosti. Under the new rules, students with even a single outstanding academic debt face expulsion. Previously, students were not expelled until they had accumulated five or more unresolved course failures. All outstanding academic debts must be cleared by April 15.
