The Vice-Chancellor, University of Abuja, Prof. Abdulrasheed Na’Allah, says the institution recently dismissed two academic staff members over allegations bordering on sexual misconduct. The don also told our correspondent on Monday that the institution had designed a communication channel for students to report cases of sexual harassment and other unethical acts by lecturers. Responding to our correspondent on UNIABUJA’s journey so far in the fight against sexual harassment, the VC said, “We expelled two members of the academic community. We collaborated with NGOs most of whom pursue sexual harassment matters. They can comment on whether a lecturer is doing well in class, does he attend class, so it’s not only sexual harassment alone.”The VC added that the varsity council also recently approved that students could assess their lecturers.
