Blissful: UB students are blissfully unaware of a raging conflict between academic staff and the deputy vice chancellor

The Industrial Court will on February 9, hear an application in which the University of Botswana Academic and Senior Support Staff Union (UBASSSU wants Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic Affairs), Professor Otlogetswe Totolo jailed for contempt of court.

The application follows a ruling by Industrial Court’s Justice Isaac Bahuma on August 22, 2014, to the effect that the UB management and UBASSSU should negotiate issues of transfer of 12 lecturers at the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE).

UBASSSU says Totolo went on to effect transfers without consulting. Bahuma had also ordered the withdrawal of the application by consent.
