Finance exam leaks at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
More than 100 students studying finance at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology will have to retake an exam after the test was found to have leaked beforehand. The university confirmed the leak on Saturday and said it had reminded teaching staff to prevent similar incidents from happening again. 'All internal examinations are conducted strictly in accordance with the principles of fairness and integrity to ensure that every student's performance is assessed fairly,' a spokesman said. '[The university] has reminded relevant teaching staff to handle examination materials with utmost care to prevent similar incidents from recurring.' The incident came to light on Saturday morning when the editorial board of the student union posted a screenshot on Instagram of an email sent to students from finance professor Utpal Bhattacharya. Bhattacharya apologised to students in his 'Fina 3103' class, explaining the final exam they had taken on Thursday had been 'inadvertently leaked before it took place'.
