Abstract

The Nigerian university system continues to depreciate in the quality of discipline among staff and students. The system is characterized by a variety of unwholesome behaviour among the faculty, a situation that calls for firm disciplinary measures to address. The application of the said disciplinary measures needs to be effected bearing in mind the human right principles so that the right things are not done the wrong ways. This article examines the concept of human rights and their importance, the rights and responsibilities of university faculty with emphasis on academic freedom and the responsibilities that go with it, academic governance, teaching, research and creative activities, public service and the resolution of conflicts. There are however various acts of misconduct found among the faculty which need to be dealt with bearing in mind the need to be guided by human rights principles. Factors that predispose academic staff to corrupt practices were listed while suggestion were made for strategies for curbing academic dishonesty among the faculty.
