Prof. Abdul Rahman advised students to dress according to acceptable standards, saying that undue exposure of body parts that have the potential to infuriate the sensibility of others would be severely sanctioned.
He said: "In this University, we have zero tolerance for any form of misconduct and we do not hesitate to sanction unpleasant behaviours.”
He said that the University had zero tolerance for anti-social groups operating on campus, emphasising that the membership of cult groups was prohibited and offenders would be summarily expelled.
Abdul Rahman called on parents and guardians of students to partner with the University Management in the task of actualising the objectives of the University.
