Further to the incident involving a visiting part-time lecturer at the University of Malta and a student, the individual in question, Mr Stephen Florian has tendered his resignation from lecturing duties with immediate effect.
His resignation follows his public apology made over the weekend and the University has taken note of these developments and accepted his resignation.
The University of Malta once again underlines its commitment to embracing diversity and to providing a welcoming learning environment to more than 12,000 students including over a thousand undergraduate and postgraduate students hailing from 92 countries. The lecturing community is in itself international and diverse.
