ABIA STATE UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP OF THE ASUU AT THE INSTITUTION NOTICE TO THE TRENDING MARRIAGE PROPOSAL BY A LECTURER IN THE UNIVERSITY TO A STUDENT IN A CLASSROOM
The management of Abia State University, Uturu and leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, (ASUU) at the institution have reacted to the recent marriage proposal by a lecturer in the university to a student in a classroom.
The leadership of the ASUU at the institution said the lecturer did not breach the union’s ethics and university regulations.
The chairperson of ASUU in the institution, Chidi Mbah, told PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday that the matter had been discussed at the union’s meeting where they ascertained that there is no law against the lecturer’s action.
“It (the proposal to the student) is not against our principle. It is a matter of choice,” Mr Mbah stated.
“On the part of the university law, to the best of my knowledge, there is no law that is against that,” he added.
The ASUU leader argued that it is even encouraged that a lecturer should marry from among his students.
He noted that the management of the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) usually gives out prizes to NYSC members who marry themselves.
When reminded that the proposal happened in a classroom, Mr Mbah responded: “When he (the lecturer) did the proposal, there was no academic activity going on in the classroom. So, he didn’t violate any known law.”
