UNIBEN sends 13 senior lecturers, others packing. THE University of Benin (UNIBEN) Tuesday said it had approved the termination of 13 senior lecturers of the institution and six other non-academic staff over offences ranging from admission racketeering and changing of students’ grades, to collection of money from students for various services. My Political Arena gathered Tuesday that the decision to relieve the affected workers of their appointment by the governing council of the university was sequel to the recommendations of the disciplinary committee that was set up to look into various acts of misconduct by erring staff. Those affected by the sack included a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, two doctors from the Department of Mathematics, three lecturers from the Department of Production Engineering and History and International Studies, a lecturer from the Optometry Department and four lecturers from the Department of Microbiology. Non-academic staff, who were affected by the sack, were those in the security unit of the university, a clerical officer and a staff member working in the office of the vice chancellor.
