Some level 100 students of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), on Thursday clashed with a female lecturer during lectures for allegedly disrespecting them. The incident, which happened at about 7pm in one of the lecture halls at Mamphey Block, Room number H111, brought lectures to an abrupt end, while lectures in other halls were disrupted for close to half an hour. Not even the intervention of two male Lecturers, Mr. Kweku Obeng Lartey, who is a Humanities II Lecturer at Level 100 and was lecturing at Room H110 and Mr. John Oteng, a Financial Management Lecturer at Level 200, who was also lecturing at Room H112 could calm tempers. The two lecturers and some students from level 200 were seen passionately trying to calm down tempers of the over one hundred students, yet the students would not listen to them. The students claimed that the female lecturer (name withheld) who lectures in Economics allegedly showed gross disrespect towards them and uses abusive words at them at the slightest provocation. A source told Asempa News that the agitations occurred when the students returned from break at 6:45pm for a scheduled test, at which the lecturer sensed some students had planned to cheat. She then decided to space them out to ensure transparency in the examination. The source said in the course of the spacing, some students who were not comfortable with the arrangements started exchanging words with the lecturer, bringing lectures to a halt. The Director of Students Affairs had to intervene by calling the students and their lecturer to the auditorium to attempt to resolve the issue. Story by Kwaku Antwi-Otoo/Asempa FM/Ghana
