Ugandan academic Stella Nyanzi, who stripped naked as a protest against the way she had been treated by Makerere University management, has been found guilty of gross misconduct.
In April, she stripped to her underwear in protest at being evicted from her office at the university by her boss over a contractual dispute.
Ms Nyanzi, who was suspended for the investigation, is likely to face further disciplinary action.
"Stripping and staging a premeditated nude demonstration contravened section 5.1(a) of the institutions Human Resource Manual, which calls upon all staff to at all times act in a reasonable and responsible manner," reads the report.
Ms Nyanzi is a popular figure on social media in Uganda, especially on Facebook, where she posts commentary on social and political issues in very colourful language.
The researcher says she cannot work under a "misogynistic reign of terror" at the university.
