The management of the University of Calabar (UNICAL) has warned its academic staff to desist from academic corruption including giving students scripts to write exams at homes, hotels and relaxation places.
A memorandum dated Tuesday, August 10, 2021 and signed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration, Professor Michael Peter Okom, lamented over what it described as “obnoxious and abhorrable” acts of sorting, extortions and sexual harassment going on in the institution.
“It has come to the knowledge of Management that some teaching staff have revived the obnoxious and abhorrable acts of sorting, extortion and sex for grades/sexual harassment,” the memorandum read.
“Some departments and lecturers have been specifically fingered and investigations have commenced. Management also has information to the effect that lecturers have resorted to giving students scripts to write exams at homes, hotels and relaxation places.
“All those involved in these despicable activities are hereby warned to desist and repent. In fact, they will soon be invited to interact with the Disciplinary Committee”, the memo concluded.
