PLM reminds students of disciplinary sanctions for threats, intimidation

The Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) Office of Student Development and Services (OSDS) reminded students to refrain from making threats or engaging in intimidating behavior that may prevent members of the university community from attending classes, participating in school activities, or entering university premises.

In an advisory, the OSDS cited a provision under the 2025 PLM Student Manual classifying such acts as a grave offense, punishable by 26 days of suspension up to non-readmission or exclusion for the first offense.

The provision covers preventing or threatening students, faculty members, and school authorities from attending classes, participating in university activities, entering university premises, or performing their official duties.

The OSDS further urged students to respect the safety, rights, and responsibilities of all members of the university community and comply with the institution’s disciplinary rules.

The reminder follows a series of bomb threat reports at the university, including incidents on Oct. 29 and Nov. 4, which prompted security inspections by the Manila Police District (MPD).

The MPD declared an all-clear following both incidents, while the University Security Office (USO) assured the community that the administration was taking necessary security measures.
