The Advanced School of Mass Communication (ASMAC), also known as ESSTIC, made a decision to suspend classes for all second year journalism students on Monday, April 15. The Director of the school, Prof François Marc Modzom, released a statement announcing the suspension, citing “collective indiscipline” as the reason. However, no further details were provided regarding the nature of the indiscipline that led to the suspension.
According to information obtained from a source, the incident that sparked this disciplinary action occurred on April 1 when a second year journalism student reported her iPhone XR as stolen. Following advice from a peer, she turned to an Imam who supposedly identified the alleged thief as one of her classmates. The missing phone was eventually recovered on April 9, but the student who returned it has since been subjected to verbal abuse from her classmates. The situation escalated to the point where it almost resulted in a physical altercation in recent days.
In order to be readmitted to classes, each student is required to submit an individual commitment letter signed by both themselves and a parent or guardian, as stated by Prof Modzom. The exact timeline for when classes will resume for the affected students was not specified in the released statement.
This incident has caused disruptions at ASMAC, a reputable institution for mass communication studies, as they work to address the issue of collective indiscipline among their student body. It serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a respectful and conducive learning environment within educational institutions.
As the school takes steps to resolve this situation, it is crucial for students and faculty to uphold the values of integrity, professionalism, and mutual respect in order to foster a positive and harmonious learning community. The ASMAC administration will continue to monitor the situation closely and take necessary actions to ensure the wellbeing and academic progress of all students involved.
