UNIBEN PROFESSOR FACES PANEL OVER ALLEGED SEXUAL HARASSMENT
The University of Benin (UNIBEN) has established a panel to probe allegations of sexual harassment against a professor in the Faculty of Arts.
The panel was inaugurated following a complaint made by a graduate on social media, who claimed to have experienced sexual harassment by the professor during her undergraduate studies.
The panel, however, did not disclose the identity of the lecturer in the said circular obtained from the institution by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Benin on Saturday.
It urged members of staff and students with relevant information, or anybody who might have fallen victim of the lecturer’s escapades, to come forward and share with it.
According to the circular, the information will assist the committee in ensuring a thorough and fair investigation.
“Be assured that your identity will be protected and all information will be treated with utmost confidentiality,” it added.
NAN learnt that the university resolved to set up the investigative panel after a graduate of the university took to social media to call out the lecture.
The alumna recounted how she allegedly suffered untold sexual harassment from the said professor during her undergraduate days.
