    If you are a teacher as you say then I think you should have been able to get something more done about it than to place it on DNO. While I am against this behavior, you saying such things in public about your institution is not helping it’s image. I believe you should have taken the matter to the Dean or the Student Services Director if you have the information.

    As a parent I am very much happy with this contribution but there has been issues pertaining to the safety of students at this institition. My daughter has complained to me about sexual harassment by a certain member of the teaching staff. It seems that other students have complained in the past and the authorities are definitely not taking any heed! This needs to be stopped! As a member of the staff I also have reason to be weary of this and I am not too happy that the intersts of our students are being protected! IF PEOPLE ARE NOT WEL THEN THE ACUTE UNIT SHOULD BE THEIR HOME!

    I MUST comend the government for its efforts at developing this DSC but more needs to be done to protect the students especially the young girls from sexual vultures who have “THE lAW “to protect them!

    lets do this before its too late ! SEXUAL FAVOURS AND MARKS DONT CO-EXIST!
