The ruling also restrains the university from taking any action that could affect his reappointment until the court makes a final decision.

Nyarko-Boampong had been barred from acting as the vice-chancellor by a court because of a lawsuit challenging the legitimacy of his extension in office.

His four-year term as the university's vice-chancellor ended on July 31, 2024.

The vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Coast recently appealed to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to intervene in the school’s leadership troubles.

Nyarko-Boampong believes that the intervention of Otumfuo will calm the tensions in the renowned Central Region school.

The vice-chancellor is concerned that the school could be returning to the days it was called the “University of Constant Confusion.”
