Sex-for-marks scandal: OAU VC blows hot, vows to deal with those found culpable
Eyitope Ogunbodede, has broken his silence over a leaked audio
suggesting that one Richard Akindele, a Professor in the Department of
Accounting, in the institution was demanding sex from a female student
to help her pass her examination.
The don, whose name was mentioned in the audio by the victim, is yet
to publicly speak on the scandal.
However, in a statement he personally signed on Wednesday, the Vice
Chancellor of the institution, said the university has begun the
process of identifying the person involved. He said the act was a
breach of regulations of the university's code of conduct and
anti-sexual harassment policy.
"In full compliance to all applicable laws, the university has set up
a high powered committee to investigate the allegation and submit its
report within one week. Anyone found culpable will be dealt with
decisively.
"The university considers sexual harassment as an offence punishable
contrary to the code of conduct and anti-sexual harassment policy. The
university will never condone such act by any staff or students," the
professor said.
