LASU SENATE DECISION ON REPORT OF SECURITY UNIT ON UNACCEPTABLE CONDUCT ON CAMPUS
The Lagos State University Senate at its 311th Statutory Meeting held on Thursday, 27th June 2024, considered a paper Ref No: LASU/SEN/ST.311/024/AOB on a report of the Security Unit on unacceptable conduct on campus by some members of staff and students.
Senate, during consideration of the paper, noted from the report that:
i. some members of staff and students are of the habit of sleeping in their offices and classrooms, to the extent of utilising kitchen utensils and other makeshift arrangement;
ii. this behaviour is not only unbecoming but also poses significant security risks and health concerns;
iii. in a related development, some members of LASUSU Executive Committee have equally converted their offices at the Students Union Arcade to rooms where they also pass the nights;
iv. in some cases, the executive members harbour opposite sex overnight, and whenever they are challenged by Security Officers, the culprits often claim that the security men lack the power to challenge them as the Arcade is students-controlled and, therefore, autonomous;
v. there is the need for the university to take appropriate steps to stop and discourage staff and students from the unbecoming lifestyle.
Senate, having noted and modified the recommendations of the Chief Security Officer, DECIDED as follows:
1. Members of staff and students should desist from the habit of sleeping overnight in offices and classrooms;
2. Students have the grace to stay on campus overnight ONLY during examination periods;
3. Appropriate Disciplinary actions shall be taken against any erring members of staff or students;
4. Any member of academic staff who, by exigencies of duty, needs to stay on campus overnight should notify the Chief Security Officer for the awareness of the Security Unit;
5. University Management should issue a guideline to the LASUSU Executive Committee on the use of students Arcade and to let them understand that the facility (Students Arcade) is not for residential purpose.
All staff and students are to, therefore, note and adhere strictly to the above decisions of Senate.
