Delta State University recently sacked six of its lecturers for their involvement in several offences including alleged sexual harassment of female students.
The sacking of the lecturers at DELSU is a
welcome development for stakeholders in the education sector. It is a step in
the right direction and I believe it would sound a note of warning to all
erring lecturers.
It would also encourage other higher institutions in Nigeria
to discipline lecturers who are found wanting. The challenge of sexual
harassment in academic establishments has existed for generations, and sadly,
it has become a norm despite the obvious iniquitousness in the act by
lecturers.
