Would my grandson's uni tell employer he was expelled

I am confused, why does his employer want to verify his educational history? I
s it like reference?, but those are usually taken before you get a job.
Is this his first job after grauduating?
I had to give lots of references in my job, but in later years we only ever confirmed the dates of employment, as is the norm these days. I doubt the university would do anything different

He’s going to have to say why he left university A and then went to university B, surely?

Sorry if this is overly simplistic or I’m missing something

Ahhh, I have just read your new thread.
I had never heard of gap analysis so googled it
"HR Gap Analysis identifies possible personnel and skill deficiencies by assessing the skills of your current workforce compared to the workforce you will need to reach your key business goals. "
Is it possible that this is what they are doing and your grandson just feels guilty about his past and non- disclosure.?

Why?

It will be the degree that interests his employer, which he got from University B, so the rest can be glossed over, IMO. It's not relevant to the job.

This is not a confessional - it's a job application.

PandaPatch that sounds like something different to me.
That sounds like skills analysis.

In this case the employer just needs to know what you he was doing when.
You need to explain ‘gaps’ in your education and work history eg rearing children, volunteering, travelling.
For example I had to explain why I abandoned my first PGCE (bereavement)

It’s standard practice.

Is my understanding correct Doodledog, Shep?

It seems not correct then!
I have had to do it for teaching jobs and TA jobs too

Doodledog I’d definitely be interested as to why he left Uni A and went to Uni B.
It would definitely pique my interest.

Tbh if I were him and being deceitful, I would have gone the whole hog and not mentioned Uni A at all

That's why I mentioned the nature of the request. With a CV, you control the nature of the information, and with an application form that passes to the employer, who can ask what they like.

It's not clear from either OP whether the employer has asked specifically for information about the 'gap'. If they have there is no choice but to come clean, in which case I would speak to the university and ask them to 'be kind'. They will have to be truthful, but there are ways of presenting the truth. If the OP is asking about a more general request for references, I would get one from the university from which he graduated, and another from an employer if there is one.

In neither event would I expect the grandson's future to be significantly compromised if the career is in banking.

Thanks Doodledog
I’m getting more and more confused by this thread, so I’m going to leave it be for a while!
Happy Easter to you🌹

In large organisations, CVs/application forms are not to satisfy the nosiness of recruiting staff . Remember that everyone is usually asked the same questions, and that if the application is on a CV there is no need to flag up university A at all.

A qualifications section need only have the dates of awards with the awarding body (in this case University B) . Chronological CVs accounting for every year since starting school aren't necessary.

So, (I’m back!) is OP worrying needlessly?

In my opinion (although I appear to be alone in this), probably.

YES that is what is happening
In this case would the student services tell the bank about the expulsion or only mention the dates
The employer wants every year since graduating what happened

I agree broadly with Doodledog It will depend upon the career which your grandsom is considering. If it is one where due dilligence in referencing is important then you need to decide who/if you are going to present information to regarding uni 1.

For more ordinary employment purposes I would simply present the information from uni 2, the one from which he received his degree. A reference from his professor/head of department and an employment reference (if appropriate) should be sufficient.

My own educational attainments are excellent but I never tell people more than I think they need to know.
