A university lecturer, Mr. Kisuze Edward, has been suspended by the University of Makarere in Uganda over allegations of sexual harassment
In the letter of suspension, which bore the stamp of the office of the Vice Chancellor and was posted on the universityâs verified Twitter handle on Tuesday, Edward was suspended due to allegations of sexual harassment preferred against him by one of his students, Rachael Njeri, who wrote the school authorities on Monday, 16th April.
Edward was notified of the allegation and asked to share his own side of the story.
Upon receipt of his response, the university placed him on immediate suspension on half pay, pending an investigation into the allegation.
The university later tweeted that the lecturer has also been arrested by the Police.
