A lecturer at a university's custom Campus has sparked outrage among students after threatening to impose academic sanctions and demanding financial contributions to replace his stolen smartphone. The incident occurred during an "Introduction to Computer Science" session, where the lecturer claimed his Tecno Spark 10 Pro smartphone went missing from his desk.
In a desperate attempt to retrieve his phone, the lecturer warned students that he would give them an F in exams if they didn't contribute to buying him a new phone with 16GB of RAM and 256GB storage capacity. He insisted that all students, including those from the School of Computer Science and Information Technology, Cybersecurity, and the School of Applied Sciences, would be affected and must pay.
Students have criticized the lecturer's demand, with some recalling a similar incident from the previous year where he allegedly ordered them to contribute money to buy him a trouser or face failing their exams. The lecturer's actions have sparked outrage and raised questions about his conduct and treatment of students.
The lecturer's behavior has been widely criticized by students, who feel that they are being unfairly targeted and exploited. Many have expressed frustration and disappointment at the lecturer's actions, which they see as unprofessional and unreasonable.
"This is not the first time he has done something like this," said one student, who wished to remain anonymous. "Last year, he made us contribute money to buy him a new pair of trousers, or else we would fail our exams. It's like he thinks we are his personal piggy bank."
Other students have also spoken out against the lecturer's behavior, saying that it is unfair and unjust to punish all students for the actions of one person.
"We understand that he is upset about his phone, but taking it out on all of us is not the right solution," said another student. "He should be focusing on teaching us, not exploiting us for his own personal gain."
The incident has also raised questions about the university's policies and procedures for dealing with lost or stolen property. Many students feel that the university should take a more proactive approach to addressing these issues, rather than leaving it up to individual lecturers to resolve.
As the situation continues to unfold, students are left feeling frustrated, angry, and disillusioned with the university's handling of the matter. It remains to be seen how the university will respond to the situation and address the concerns of its students.
