Dobsonville Further Education and Training (FET) campus
In this the case the students and lecturers have a good relationship the problem is with the campus manager.
They accused the campus manager, Andrew Dube, of verbally abusing them.
The students and lectures said that Dube had insulted them by remarking that :

- some of you are smelly,
- You look like you have not had a bath,
- You smell of alcohol and dress like hoboes”.
- their classrooms “are filthy,
- the toilets are disgusting,
- while the campus is dirty”.
Teaching and learning have been disrupted at the Dobsonville Further Education and Training (FET) campus, prompting angry students to call for intervention by education authorities. Students start the strike and as the strike entered its third day on Wednesday, some of the frustrated students resorted to drinking alcohol inside the campus premises. The college was plunged into chaos on Monday after lecturers and administrative staff members embarked on a wildcat strike.
I believe that the campus manager needs to change his behaviour or get fired.As a Campus manager you communicate a very important massage from the leadership of the university or college.You are not suppose to be assaulting others but helping them and guiding them.The manager was suppose to sit and do environmental scanning and come up with possible solution to help with the problem, not assault lecturers and students.As a student\Lecturer what would you do if you where insulted by Campus manager or someone of a higher position in the university.
