Disturbed by the immoral acts of some of its students, especially in cultivating anti-social behaviours, especially male and female co- habitations in hostel facilities outside the campus, the management of the institution has expressed readiness to apply drastic penalties for unethical behaviours and dress code violations both on and off the institution’s campuses.
It was gathered that some students of the institution who reside within the host communities have been indulging in male/ female co-habitations in the same room or apartment.
It was learnt that the management of the university was not comfortable with such attitude as it negates its vision of producing graduates who will be responsible citizens wherever they may be residing after graduation.
” This is a move to enhance the institutions’ zero tolerance for all acts of indiscipline in and around the university, ” a senior management staff of the institution told this medium.
” Unethical behaviours range from consumption and or possession of alcohol and illicit drugs, membership of unregistered associations, sexual assault, cyber crimes, homosexuality, physical and verbal assault, theft, bullying, bringing vehicle to school, and male-female cohabitation.
” Others are bringing babies to the hostel or lecture rooms, extortion, and walking on the lawn, among others, ” the source said.
He added:” Category B which captures dress code violations lists none use of identification card on campus, skimpy and revealing clothes, all forms of indecent and flamboyant dressing, unkempt and dishevelled appearances, piercings, braiding of hair and long nails by male students, and coloured braids and hair extensions that go beyond the neck region for females as violations that attract various levels of sanctions. ”
