Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Ibadan Chapter on Tuesday says no single academic staff was involved in examination malpractices in her Distance Learning Center (DLC).
The Chairman, ASUU UI, Professor Deji Omole while reacting to some newspaper reports said those arrested by the DSS were non-academic staff in the technical unit of the DLC.
Omole lashed out at the Director of Public Communications of the University Olatunji Oladejo who some papers attributed the story to as misinforming the public.
Seven non-academic staff of the Distance learning center of the Institution were picked up by the DSS last week thursday over their alleged involvement in aiding and abeting examination malpractices and compromising the integrity of examinations.
Omole maintained that academic staff have not been fingered or linked to the fraud and no one should drag them into it.
The ASUU boss who stated the Union is not against punishing anyone linked to the fraud.
Apart from the fact that the University committee, Omole said that ASUU has a standing committee on ethics and standard dealing with ethical and unethical issues.
He however said it will not take it lightly when her members are wrongly accused.
