In a statement, the university says: “This position is a crucial one for the protection of University properties and ensuring the safety of staff, students, the University Community and visitors to our campus, as Mr. Kipott is the head of the University’s Security Service and the University Commercial Security Service (UCSS).
“As you would have witnessed during the student boycott of classes and student unrest from May through August, the University’s security personnel were placed under considerable pressure to contain the situation.
