In June, Professor Pal Ahluwalia was suspended by the committee led by Pro Chancellor Winston Thompson over alleged malpractice.
But he was reinstated after weeks of protests by students and staff, when the council ruled due process had not been followed.
On Friday, a special meeting of the university's council cleared Professor Ahluwalia of all allegations.
"The Council resolved that based on the detailed and painstaking work undertaken by the Special Executive Committee, that found as at 24 August 2020 there being no allegations where the consensus or clear majority view were deemed material, that the proceedings initiated against the vice-chancellor is terminated."
