Held:
Respondent students argue that petitioners are not in a position to file the
instant petition under Rule 65 considering that they failed to file a motion
for reconsideration first before the trial court, thereby by passing the latter
and the Court of Appeals. It is accepted legal doctrine that an exception to
the doctrine of exhaustion of remedies is when the case involves a question
of law, as in this case, where the issue is whether or not respondent
students have been afforded procedural due process prior to their dismissal
from Petitioner University.
