Kuwait's Star Academy nominee fails KU classes

Kuwait University's students' affairs deanery recently rejected a request filed by Kuwait's nominee and participant in the Lebanese TV programme Star Academy, Ahmed Dawood, reported Al-Watan. On being accepted as a participant in the programme, Dawood filed a request to be exempted from sitting for a test in his course of business administration that he is currently enrolled in. He asked for a chance to sit for the following course's tests. The faculty of business administration initially agreed to exempt him but the students' affairs deanery rejected the request on the basis that the excuse Dawood used to justified his absence was unacceptable, and thus he failed all subjects. Dawood said he was going to be away in Lebanon during the course tests on an official 'patriotic mission' representing Kuwait, which was not accepted.
