Social vices associated with the use of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in a Private Christian Mission University, Southern Nigeria.
2013
This study is designed to address social problems associated with Information Communication
Technologies (ICTs) and implications they portend on studentship in a Private Christian Mission
University, Southern Nigeria. It tries to find out how the engagement of ICT devices results in social
vices on campus. Drawing from recorded data between 2006 and 2012 academic year, the study
reported six ICT tools associated with eight social- ills. Relying on raw data of 900 students disciplined
within this period, the study reported that 187 students were expelled while 46 were advised to withdraw
due to their involvement in ICT-related vices. Moreover, the study shows that 78 students served 1 year
suspension while 589 students were suspended for one month. Findings of the study also revealed loss
of all student rights infinitely for expelled students, nearly all rights for those advised-to-withdraw and
all for a specified period for the suspended students. Practical implications of these disciplinary actions
are discussed and potential future directions on this subject are proposed.
