Rajamangala University of Technology Suvarnabhumi (RMUTSB) has expelled four students for their alleged involvement in a hazing assault on Thursday that left a student seriously injured.
A Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESRI) official said eight students were accused of orchestrating the hazing, which was captured in CCTV footage.
The 20-year-old freshman was said to have joined military-like training for freshmen that includes physical abuse and cruel punishments.
Unable to endure the abuse, the student went with his parents to the campus. The parents asked faculty staff to move the student to a class in another building to avoid the hazing seniors.
On leaving talks with the staff, the family was confronted by a group of around ten seniors who taunted the student and kicked him repeatedly until he fell to the ground, to the horror of his parents.
The mother said her husband, who tried to protect their son, was also assaulted while she was pushed away.
