The alleged Vice-Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) recently came under fire after threatening to rusticate a female student for wearing what he considered to be indecent clothing.
A video of the altercation between the vice chancellor and the student went viral on social media after it was posted, setting off a fiery discussion on campus and elsewhere.
The Vice-Chancellor is seen in the widely circulated video reprimanding the female student as they come into contact in the classroom.
The Vice-Chancellor, accompanied by university representatives, questioned the student’s choice of clothing and expressed interest in how comfortable she felt wearing what he considered to be an indecent outfit.
Despite the student’s plea for a reconsideration of his decision, the Vice-Chancellor stood firm in his stance, declaring that the university should not tolerate students who dress immorally.
The student defended herself by stating that she was not exposing herself and felt comfortable in her chosen attire.
However, instead of engaging in a constructive dialogue, the Vice-Chancellor’s response was confrontational.
He instructed the officials to collect the student’s matriculation number and other personal details, signaling his intention to dismiss her from UNIPORT.
