Deputy Vice Chancellor Professor Neil Garrod says the issue around fake degrees was identified as a major problem in an Administrator’s report.
The university has two campuses, namely, Richards Bay and KwaDlangezwa - with a total of 16 000 students.
Professor Garrod says while the academic programme has resumed, recent violence and vandalism has again led to the
