Islamic University Suspends 23 Students For Engaging In Sexual Relationship On Campus

The disciplinary committee at Islamic University in Uganda, Mbale campus has reportedly suspended 23 of its students on allegations of engaging in sexual relationships contrary to the university regulations.

Speaking with Daily Monitor, Dr Sulait Kabali, the University Coordinator, who also doubles as secretary of the disciplinary committee, last Monday said that the students were found guilty of breach of University rules and regulations.

“The students were found guilty of coupling and having sex on campus, which is contrary to the University rules and regulations, Mr Kabali, said, adding that other students were also found guilty of theft of property, consuming alcohol and other narcotic drug, pregnancy and staging acts of violence at the campus.

According to the letter dated April 14, 2018, the students were reportedly found in the dark corners on different occasions engaging in love affairs.

“During the cross-examining to which you were subjected at the above Disciplinary Sub-Committee and basing on your oral and written submission in which you stated that you were found in darkness engaging in love affairs, you were found guilty of having committed the above stated offence hence having violated the above cited rule,” reads part of the letter addressed to the suspended students.

Mr Kabali said the suspension, which will last for one year, should act as a strong warning to other students, saying University administration will not hesitate to expel any student who breaches the rules and regulation governing the University.

The suspended students, who included finalists, were about to sit for their examinations, which started today (April 23).

The affected students were given one week to appeal if they felt the suspension was not just or fair and indeed Ms Rehema Katono, the public relations officer, acknowledged that the University disciplinary committee will soon sit again to have a final conclusion on the students, who have appealed against their dismissal.

“At the moment, we cannot declare that we have suspended or discontinued them because the final conclusion has not been made as yet regarding their appeals,” she said.
