The disciplinary committee at Islamic University in Uganda, Mbale campus has suspended 23 students undertaking different course on allegations of engaging in sexual relationships contrary to the university regulations.
Dr Sulait Kabali, the University Coordinator, who also doubles as secretary of the disciplinary committee, stated that the students were found guilty of breach of University rules and regulations.
“The students were found guilty of coupling and having sex on campus, which is contrary to the University rules and regulations, Mr Kabali, said, adding that other students were also found guilty of theft of property, consuming alcohol and other narcotic drug, pregnancy and staging acts of violence at the campus.
According to the university, if a student is interested in the other for a sexual relationship, they should apply to the Dawah committee for consent and be allowed to marry officially.
But even as a married couple, you’re not allowed to hug, kiss at campus or sit with someone of the opposite sex for more than 10 minutes without the third party.
There is also no free mixing at the university between female and male students during lectures and in the compound.
