It is no longer news that the senate arm of the Association of Veterinary Medical Students, University of Ibadan (AVMS, UI) suspended the Executive President of the association on charges of gross misconduct. This issue has caused uproar within students of the faculty, with many having diverse opinions on the matter. In vein of this, VNO comfabulated with some students of the faculty to learn their views on this. However, all respondents have been made anonymous based on majority requirement.
"What is your take on the suspension of the Executive President by the Senate?"The action taken by the president in the house was abnormal and disrespectful. It was seen as gross misconduct, he deserves suspension ~~~

Awon senate yen nbe seriously (senate is overstepping their boundaries). I feel the senate should have informed the members of AVMS before taking such a decision, to know our take on it. It was too sudden. But we thank God it was not more than suspension. Hopefully he will be reinstated soon ~~~

I go with the Senate, indiscipline should not be overlooked no matter how little it might be and irrespective of the individual involved. If any other member of the faculty can be punished for gross misconduct then I see no reason why the president's issue should be an exception ~~~

It is painful and worth lamenting that our dear congressmen who are known for their exemplary sagacity, who I expect to be elites, have proven to follow our leaders blindly. Nobody is concentrating on the fact that the accused senator had to talk in that manner to the Executive President because financial issues, which is very crucial, was being discussed. Who cares about the manner you are addressed when financial misappropriation is involved? I actually celebrate our senators who are being blamed for having us at heart. Your rewards are in manifolds. Kudos to the senate chamber ~~~

When the issue first happened, I thought it would never get to this point because it should not. Our Executive President has really bitten more than he can chew. Of course, all I see now is a very big ego higher than that of all the senators combined. If the accused senator can apologize, what is keeping the Executive President from tendering an apology to the senate chamber for our sake if he really has us at heart? ~~~

Well, what I see about the matter is that the Executive and the other members of AVMS do not recognize the power and the importance of Senate. Moreover, decisions made in Senate may not really imply what the members of each constituency are feeling about the situation, so I think senators should consult their constituency members before very crucial decisions are made ~~~
***
At first I thought of the move as outrageous but when I heard the story of what actually happened, it seemed the right thing was done especially because the suspension has a constitutional backing ~~~
***
It is actually bad to suspend the president just like that. What a quick and unlawful decision. Normally, they are supposed to query him first, then he will respond to query before any decision is made ~~~
***
***
I feel the President should just do the right thing and let us move. This senator has apologized twice, what do you want again? As a leader, you will experience a lot of scolding and it takes leadership maturity to address these conservatively ~~~
***
Well, the senate arm is composed of individuals considered to be efficient, reasonable and effective in decision making, they are there to do their job as they deem fit. But if we have a problem with the decisions they're making then we need to start looking inward, maybe we've been electing the wrong people. But if we consider them to be the best 4 persons for the job per class, then we just need to let them do their jobs and stick to the decisions they make ~~~
***
I feel the Senate had to do what's necessary. If he was out of the line, then the suspension is spot on. He should apologize and they should both move on ~~~
***
Well, personally I think that if apologies have been made to appropriate quarters, the suspension should have been lifted. Again, what led to it could have been avoided. While disrespect should not be condoned by any level or governing body, our president could have returned to the meeting and said his grievances ~~~
***
If the suspension attributed to be due to "gross misconduct" was just because of the absence of the President during the latter part of the sitting, then I think it was really unwarranted. The said offense is too flimsy for that action. It puts too much on hold ~~~
