UG suspends Commonwealth Hall former JCR president, 3 others
Four former Junior Common Room (JCR) executives of the Commonwealth Hall of the University of Ghana (UG), Legon, have been suspended.
This comes on the back of a hearing by the Disciplinary Board for Junior Members which established a case of misconduct against the four JCR executives.
Management of the university has suspended JCR President, Paul Anim Inkoom; Vice-President, Bright Gati; Secretary, Daniel Kofi Boakye; and Treasurer, Daniel Odoi Darko, for three academic years.
A statement issued by the university and signed by its Registrar, Emelia Agyei-Mensah, on Sunday, 8 January 2022, noted that the former JCR president had “earlier been suspended for two (2) academic years after being found guilty of misconduct,” contrary to the University of Ghana regulations for Junior Members, 2017.
The statement further noted that the four students had “organised or allowed the organisation of meetings of the Junior Common Room of Commonwealth Hall.
“These meetings provided a platform for the delivery and publication of false, reckless and defamatory statements against Senior Officers of the University, which brought the Offices of the Vice-Chancellor, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Student Affairs) and the University as a whole into disrepute.”
It advised students to “acquaint themselves with the content of the Statutes and the Students Regulations,” as “contravention of these Statutes and Regulations will lead to imposition of appropriate sanctions.”
