ASMAC Director suspends Journalism students over misconduct
By Charity Nginyu
François Marc Modzom, the Director of the Advanced School of Mass Communication(ASMAC), has suspended second-year Journalism students over misconduct.
The reason cited for this drastic measure was the prevalence of collective indiscipline within the class, which had reached alarming levels.
Recent revelations shed light on the gravity of the situation within the affected class. Incidents of theft, drug use, chronic absenteeism, and even accusations of witchcraft and homosexual activities are reported to have plagued the learning environment for months.
A few days back, two students were apprehended for stealing phones, with one phone successfully traced back to its owner.
Additionally, three laptops were reported stolen, further exacerbating tensions within the class.
The deteriorating situation, reports say prompted several instructors, including Modzom himself, to suspend their teaching activities in recent days, deeming the environment “untenable.”
With a total of 12 students now facing disciplinary proceedings, the ESSTIC administration faces the daunting task of restoring order and discipline within the institution while addressing the issues that are contributing to the misconduct.
