普利茅斯大学对于谣传考试搜身事件的官方回复
关于近日社交网络中普利茅斯大学监考人员只针对中国学生进行搜身的传言，普利茅斯大学官方做出了如下正式答复,并授权普利茅斯中国学联进行发布：
The University treats all students in a fair and equitable manner. Invigilators overseeing formal exams must ensure that all students abide by the University’s rules and regulations which are promoted well in advance. Notes must not be taken into the room. An announcement is made at the beginning of each session reminding students that any notes that have been brought to the table or are located in student’s pockets must be removed immediately and handed to an invigilator, otherwise candidates are at risk of being charged with an examination offence. Once the exam is in progress candidates leaving the room to visit the toilet are asked to empty their pockets to prevent undeclared notes from being taken into the lavatory and read. It is in overseeing this task that invigilators have been given banned revision notes by students and as a consequence assessment offences have been reported. This exercise is undertaken for every person visiting the toilet during the examination. No candidate is ever body searched.

普利茅斯大学一贯本着公平与公正的原则对待所有学生。
在任何正式考试过程中，监考官都会提前确保所有学生遵守学校的制度与规定。任何复习笔记都不允许被带入到考场当中。在每一场考试正式开始之前，监考老师都会正式要求所有学生们将衣服口袋里的纸条，笔记等交到监考官的手中，如果学生在考试开始之前没有递交所持有的纸条或笔记，则存在着被指控为考试作弊的可能。
一旦考试正式开始，在考试过程进行当中，需要去卫生间的同学，会被要求在离开考场之前自行清空身上的口袋，以防止其可能在去卫生间的过程中阅读没有上交的纸条或笔记。此要求为监考官在监考过程中的任务之一，如果在监考官执行此要求的过程中发现学生持有复习笔记或纸条，那么学生可能会面临着被指控为考试作弊的后果。
本规定应用于所有在考试过程中前去卫生间的考生。
从来没有考生被进行过搜身。
