Introduction 

In his book the Genuine intellectual, Bernard Nsokika Fonlon, describes a university as a weaver and maker of content and character that aims to feed the market of society for its greater good. Unfortunately, the talk of integrity seems farfetched from university settings as both students and lecturers are both victims and victimizers in the business of sexually transmitted marks or marks for sale. Of course, it is commendable that by thy sweat of thy brow and the labour of thy fist one shall eat. Yet, there is a sense in which “long neck desires” for more than the simple physiological needs pits a man against his greatest vices.

Situation at Hand

In the context of a university, standard mores must be revisited and both potential victims and victimizers be made aware of this malignant tumour that seems to be growing steadily but silently on and off the campuses in relation to sexually transmitted marks or marks for sale. While constructive criticism must be the assumed tone in denouncing such ill seated maladies within academic settings which are hubs of integrated learning, words must meet action in anti-sardinizing campuses of such bad fate and ill will from the victimizers to the victims.

Related Studies

Be it from interviews or closed-door talks among students or lecturers, seem to suggest an interactional responsibility shared by the students and the lecturers in the promulgation and propagation of sexually transmitted marks or marks for sale in different avenues. For instance, in an off-the-grid interview with a third-year student at a certain university, she opened up to having been a practitioner and beneficiary of the sexually transmitted marks scheme with her educator. This brings to bear the transactionary dimension of relationships within university settings. In the same situation, a master student at a similar university drew to the forefront the reality of mark for sale especially for young men with the cash to buy. While in-depth studies and quantitative reviews need to be done to ascertain the percentage of students or teachers who suffer from this or are perpetrators of this within university settings, a lot remains grey with individual isolated cases registered.

Conclusion

However, despite the symptomatic signs inviting an investigative read into the mores temperature of most universities regarding sexually transmitted mark and marks for sale, we are prudently reminded by the words of the Venerable Bernard Nsokika Fonlon that a university must be a habitus for the cultivation of the mind and the nourishment of the soul. A combination of content and character. And if sexually transmitted marks and marks for sale are already gaining ground in diverse universities across the country and continent, then it is a call for educators to revisit their pamphlets and to rethink university as a hospital for the mind, not a brothel for the body.
