Hope these Neps can convince the Dean and the Professor to put them back into the program otherwise they're gone for good unless they apply afresh into another university and get accepted into it within the 45 days of their expulsion (and F1 visa forfeiture).  Now that they've learnt a lesson, lets hope they get a chance back into bettering their lives and being honest for a change...Peeps , wkae up, these sort of things are rampant in nepal and India only.  Here one needs to work hard too.
