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 had the stamp of the office of the vice chancellor which was posted on the university’s Twitter handle Tuesday, Edward was suspended due to allegations of sexual harassment preferred against him by one of his students, Rachael Njeri, who petitioned the school authorities on 16th April. Edward was notified of the allegation and asked to state his own version of the story.
Upon the receipt of his response, the university placed him on immediate suspension with half pay, pending an investigation into the allegation. The university later tweeted that the lecturer had also been arrested by the Police.
