KNUST To Dismiss Students Who Organise Or Participate In Morale: “Come To Legon”

• The KNUST Council has reminded students of the ban on the organisation and/or participation of morale and procession
• This is coming after the university lifted the suspension on the celebration of SRC week in the 2025/2026 academic year
• Social media users who saw the post reiterating the ban shared varied thoughts in the comment section

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) said any student who participates in the organisation of morale and/or procession shall be dismissed.

This was contained in a letter released on February 12, 2025, by the KNUST Council.

The letter serves as a reminder of the existing rule, which bans the organisation and participation in morale and/or processions.

The initial ban started on August 26, 2022, after violent clashes between some students of the University Hall (Katanga) and Unity Hall (Continental) during hall week activities on August 18, 2022.

The clash left three vehicles damaged and at least 12 students injured. This also led to the abolishment of all Junior Common Room (JCR) systems of hall management by students.

The clash also led to the suspension of hall week and SRC week celebrations.

However, the KNUST Council has restored SRC week celebrations from the 2025/2026 academic year. It is not readily known if hall week will be celebrated as well.

The university’s council possibly reiterated its ban on morale so students do not mistake the ban lifted on the SRC week celebration to mean they can also go on the procession.

Morale refers to songs sung by a group of people, in this case university students, with lots of energy amid clapping and drumming in unison. A leader starts the song and is joined by the rest of the group.
