I CALL on the National Government to look into the Unitech administration. The students and the National Academic Staff Association (NASA) boycotted classes because they knew that something was really wrong with the administrative office.
The Government, through the office of Higher Education and the Ombudsman Commission, said the matter should be addressed or looked into.
But nothing has been done since then.
Can the Ombudsman Commission (OC) explain the findings of the allegations against the administration?
It was reported that the Department of Mining Engineering may close due to shortage of lecturers because both expatriate and national lecturers are leaving.
This simply means the administration is not providing conducive learning and working environment.
I foresee more lecturers leaving as well.
About 15 students were expelled last month over the strike following a proposal to increase the 2008 school fees by 20%. In 2005, the fees were increased by 23%.
Furthermore, three administrative staff left the varsity in June to contest in the general election but were unsuccessful.
After the election, they walked back into the office and retained their positions. Are these positions their birthright or is it their private business?
Can the OC clarify this issue?
I also call on Sir Mekere Morauta, Bart Philemon and Luther Wenge to look into and bring it up in Parliament.
