The Vice Chancellor of Makerere University – Prof Barnabas Nawangwe has issued a letter of interdiction to Associate Professor Jude Ssempebwa over what the earlier called disruptive behavior.
It is said that Prof Ssempebwa and a one Peter Ntale have attempted to channel their grievances to the First lady and Minister of Education, Janet Museveni after the University administration seems to yield no fruit for them.
Dr Ssempebwa says that the University Administrators (particularly College of Education and external studies) have frustrated efforts of his supervisee Mr Ntale on matters regarding thesis defense and graduation.
In the letter to Dr Ssempebwa, the vice chancellor wrote in part: “In order to ensure safety of members of the University Community, especially at the College of Education and External Studies (CEES), and to protect the reputation of the university from your alleged violent, anti-social and disruptive behavior, I hereby interdict you from university service with immediate effect.”
Dr Ssempebwa has also been summoned by to appear before the institution’s committee which will be set up to probe his conduct.
In what seems to be a feud, the suspended don tagged the happening events to six years ago when his request for promotion to Professor was rejected by the then dean of the school under which Assoc Prof Ssempebwa served.
