Professor Hill is not a father to any of those students. He is professional educational administrator, and that is it. His job is to run the university on a professional basis without behaving as if he were some father running a home. After all, fathers are not elected or appointed. For the children, the fathers and mothers just happen to be there when the young ones are born.
Students are the gauge of social and political stability or instability.
Any society which has a tumultuous university society must sit down and assess its performance. Zimbabwe is hell for students. What sort of democracy are we running which does not even allow students to register their protest in the university campus. I once witnessed the late Dr Josh being harassed by students. The students would not take that.
