They called for the student to be punished for the misdemeanour while others said she should be expelled.
But in his opinion, the man who spoke in the now-viral video said the lecturer was wrong to have touched the lady.
He said since the lecturer had said “excuse me” he should not have touched the lady.
His words:
“I think that the culprit here, first and foremost is the lecturer. He didn’t behave like a lecturer on the day. You could say excuse me without touching people. That’s not a male that you are touching, that’s a female. And you are supposed to be like her teacher. You are supposed to be high up there. You are not supposed to touch. That’s the beginning of the whole problem. The touch was the beginning of the whole problem. This guy clearly started the problem by touching her. I mean, why then were you excusing yourself if you were going to touch her? What is the meaning of excuse me? If you were going to touch her, why not just touch her and not say excuse me? Because courtesy is excuse me without touching.”
