Furthermore, it was revealed that members of the LASU Student Union Executive Committee had transformed their offices at the Students Union Arcade into living quarters, occasionally hosting overnight guests of the opposite sex. When questioned by security officers, these members asserted their autonomy over the Arcade, justifying their actions based on its student-controlled status.
