University bans hugging between lecturers and female students

The University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) has launched new sexual harassment that will abhor amorous huggings between lecturers and female students.  

The Vice-Chancellor of the University, Professor Ndowa E. S. Lale at the launch of the policy ceremony, which was held at Ebitime Banigo hall said the University decided to raise the bar on sexual harassment to ensure that the young men and women put in the charge of lecturers are protected, especially from antics of sexual predators who use their privileged positions to blackmail or railroad their unwilling students or subordinate staff into granting them sexual favours.

He said the management of the University, in the policy document, defined the rules of engagement in terms of acceptable engagements between lecturers, administrators and students, including visitors to the university.

Prof Ndowa vowed that sanctions would be meted to earring members of staff but added that there was robust in-built checks and balances to protect those who are innocently accused.  

He also warned that any person so accused would be presumed guilty until he or she could prove otherwise under the established rules of fair hearing.

 Prof Ndowa also warned that henceforth, lectures and administrators who did not remember to tell their tailors to sew zippers in front of their trousers should be ready to bear the consequences of their amorous liaison with female students.  

He said the same measured will be applied to students who harassed lecturers to award them undeserved grades, saying they should equally be ready to face the music if and when caught in the act of self-advertisement to their lecturers.
