The statement also mentioned, “The university has studied the issue and taken swift and appropriate action against the lecturer”. Other than that, compromise is not something UiTM will do against individuals that intentionally and also unintentionally want to bring shame to UiTM’s good name.
For all the students who are struggling during these trying times, do not be afraid to reach out. UiTM’s main goal would be to help students who are in need to get the educations that they deserve. The faculty and university will try and help the students to get the basic necessities that they need while they are pursuing their studies there.
