This decision was confirmed on Friday in a statement by the Acting Registrar, Victor Modebelu, who noted that the Acting Vice-Chancellor had received a report from the Student Disciplinary Committee regarding the incident involving a lecturer from the Department of Theatre and Film Studies.
According to the statement, Chimamaka was found guilty of gross misconduct and violating the Students Disciplinary Regulations, particularly Regulation 4.
The letter stated: “The Ag.
