SHAH ALAM – Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) has lodged a police report and a complaint with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) over recent sexual harassment allegations against a lecturer that caused outrage on social media.
UiTM spokesman Nora Noordin said the university has also ordered an internal investigation committee to look into the matter and conduct a detailed investigation into all the allegations.
“UiTM takes the allegations seriously and is also committed to addressing all allegations raised.
“The university will not compromise and will take stern action against any staff who takes advantage or misuses their power because the university prioritises the safety, welfare and quality of life of all its staff and students,” she said in a statement today.
