An unexpected announcement was made on Monday, April 15, as the Advanced School of Mass Communication (ASMAC), also known by its French acronym, ESSTIC, decided to suspend classes for all second-year journalism students. According to a statement from the school’s director, Prof. François Marc Modzom, the suspension was a result of what was described as “collective indiscipline.” However, no additional information was given regarding the specifics of this reported misconduct.
Based on reliable information obtained by MMI, it has been revealed that disciplinary action was initiated following an incident that took place on April 1. The incident involved the theft of an iPhone XR belonging to a second-year journalism student. After receiving a suggestion from a fellow student, the individual decided to consult with an Imam who claimed to have identified the suspected thief. Surprisingly, it turned out to be one of her classmates.
After the missing phone was found on April 9, tensions among the student body continued to rise. The person who returned the device has faced verbal abuse from their peers, which almost led to a physical confrontation recently.
Prof. Modzom outlined that each student’s readmission is contingent upon the submission of a “a signed individual commitment letter from both the student and a parent or guardian.”.
This requirement highlights ASMAC’s administration’s commitment to addressing the situation with utmost seriousness.
