“The corporate image of the institution is at stake, a cogent reason why we will ensure that fairness and transparency are deployed during the investigation,” she maintained.

Expressing dismay over the ugly incident, she said her administration would stop at nothing to stamp out unethical practices in the Institution.

The VC added that those found guilty would be made to face the total weight of the Law while the University Management would beam its searchlight on the Faculty of Law to forestall a reoccurrence.

Earlier, Bala said that the essence of the visit was for the association to get the correct information.

She commended the Vice-Chancellor and the University management for their stance on the issue while stressing the need for the victims to be counselled to speak about their experiences without fear of victimisation.

Bala also requested the Vice Chancellor to integrate NBA members into the panel investigating the matter.
