The University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) has strongly condemned the altercation that occurred at its hostel and has gone viral on social media.
A video of a female senior student with a cane angrily flogging another young female student for spreading lies about her has surfaced on the internet.
She accused the young female student of spreading rumours about her sleeping with lecturers for academic credit.
The school has since released a statement indicating that ot would probe the matter.
“The attention of the Management of the University of Professional Studies, Accra, has been drawn to a video making the rounds on some social media platforms about an altercation at the hostel. The behaviour exhibited in the video goes against our Code and does a disservice to the majority of UPSA students who uphold the values of respect and professionalism for which UPSA is known,” UPSA said in its statement.
UPSA added that “an investigation committee has been set up by the University. Our preliminary investigation has revealed that the culprit is in a special non-tertiary programme in preparation for an external professional examination. Upon completion of the investigation, all responsible persons will face the full rigour of sanctions. The University’s Code of Conduct, to which all our students subscribe, remains the document that drives student behaviour and conduct at UPSA. Students who violate the Code face disciplinary proceedings”.
