Point well made? Dr Lamond stripped down to his underwear to highlight an aspect of a good sales pitch

Teachers are always trying to find new ways to engage their students with their subject.

But this overenthusiastic university professor is now being investigated after stripping down to his underwear during a lecture.

Dr Ian Lamond, 51, an events management lecturer at Leeds Metropolitan University, started taking off his clothes in an effort to make a point about how to give an exciting sales pitch.

But the move appears to have backfired after bemused students tweeted pictures of the striptease, prompting the university to launch an investigation.


Dr Lamond has written about his passion for performing and desire to enthuse his students

Photos uploaded to social media show Dr Lamond taking off his trousers and shirt and standing in front of the class in a pair of grey underpants.



He is then pictured sitting down and shaving.

Students in the lecture tweeted their surprise at Dr Lamond’s antics.

I literally have no idea what is going on right now, why is my lecturer semi naked.. and now painting his face white.. — Laura Stephenson (@LauraSteeve) April 28, 2014

A video of the incident was also posted online, in which students can be heard laughing as Dr Lamond parades around the front of the lecture hall holding his clothes.

The university has not suspended Dr Lamond but he is being investigated and could face a dressing down by his bosses.

According to the MailOnline, Dr Lamond recently wrote of the ‘voracious curiosity and performer’ in him on a careers website.
