Olarewaju, acknowledged the tireless sacrifice of the Panel for a job well done, saying the Vice-Chancellor reinstated the commitment of his administration to zero tolerance for any form of sexual and emotional harassment.

Accordingly, Ogunbodede was quoted as urging any student or member of the University Community to avail themselves of the opportunity of the open door policy of the present administration to report any infringement on their rights by anybody to the appropriate organ of the University for possible investigation and redress.

Also, the University Administration will now present the findings of the Panel to the Academic and Promotion Committee of the University for deliberations and recommendations.
