University Lecturer Suspended Amid Investigation into Financial Misconduct
A lecturer at a university in Udon Thani has been suspended following allegations of borrowing money from a student and improper collection of document fees.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, a university in Udon Thani has launched a formal investigation into a male lecturer following complaints of financial misconduct. The lecturer is accused of borrowing tens of thousands of baht from a female student, allegedly to fund expenses for another student, and failing to repay the debt until the matter was escalated to university administrators.
Assistant Professor Dr. Kreetha Promthep, Dean of the Faculty of Education, confirmed that the university president ordered an urgent inquiry after receiving a formal complaint from the student. In addition to the loan allegations, the investigation is examining claims that the lecturer improperly collected fees from students for course materials (sheets).
To protect the student involved and ensure the integrity of the process, the faculty has suspended the lecturer from all teaching duties while the investigation is ongoing. The committee has already recorded statements from the complainant and relevant parties, and the lecturer was scheduled to be questioned on July 27, 2026.
For residents and visitors, this incident highlights the university's internal disciplinary procedures regarding faculty-student conduct. While the university has taken immediate administrative action, the final outcome of the investigation and the specific details regarding the unauthorized collection of document fees remain to be confirmed by the official committee report.
