End barbarism, bigotry at UTech

THE EDITOR, Sir:

While Maurice Tomlinson grapples with threats on his safety and security, the University of Technology's (UTech) administration must assure that students are not denied a quality academic experience.

UTech may very well have to hire an interim lecturer because the institution cannot guarantee Mr Tomlinson's safety.

Simultaneously, any student identified as a perpetrator of threats against the professor should be swiftly provided the opportunity of due process. Allow the course of justice to prevail.

The president of the institution must immediately issue a cease-and-desist order to members of the university community and impose a zero-tolerance policy vis-à-vis hostility against people of an alternative sexual lifestyle.

A higher-education community is not the place for bigotry and barbarism of any kind and should be vigorously rebuked.
