“I regret to inform you that the Appointments Board of Kabale University Under Min.598160/AB/21122 found you guilty of Sexual Harassment, failure to follow examination regulations, and professional negligence. The Board, therefore, directed you be severely reprimanded and your interdiction be lifted,” reads the letter.
