UNIOSUN Rejects Army’s Inquiry Process, Vows to Protect Students in Assault Case

UNIOSUN has rejected parts of the Army Depot’s statement on sexual assault allegations involving military personnel and its students. The university says asking survivors to report to the same authorities under investigation ignores the trauma, fear and intimidation they may face. The institution insists on confidentiality and will not disclose student identities or compel them to appear before military officials without informed consent. It reaffirms its duty to protect the privacy, dignity and safety of every student. The Vice-Chancellor’s remarks were made in good faith to uphold student welfare, not to prejudge any investigation or sensationalise the matter. UNIOSUN calls for victim-centred, independent and transparent inquiries that inspire public confidence. Legal advisers have been instructed to begin proceedings to safeguard the university’s integrity, the Vice-Chancellor’s reputation and students’ interests. The institution pledges full cooperation with lawful authorities while ensuring student rights and welfare remain paramount.

It's surprising that the university and army can't agree on a neutral reporting process, yet both claim they want justice and transparency.

Universities should establish independent reporting panels with trained counselors, so survivors aren't forced to face their alleged aggressors or compromised authorities during investigations.
