UG sanctions students and staff over misconduct

The lecturer's suspension comes as the school has already imposed sanctions against some students and teachers for misconduct.

A statement from the office of the registrar stated that the affected persons engaged in activities deemed illegal on campus, including plagiarism, and causing mayhem on campus.

Among the list of sanctioned individuals are eight students who have been suspended for two academic years. They are accused of engaging in clashes between the Commonwealth and Mensah Sarbah halls.

The eight students are Brown Kevi Kubiti, Francis Prempeh, Martin Elikem Wlexor, Michael Tetteh Kenney, Prince Owusu Acheampong, Owusu Franklyn Afrifa, Stephen Obeng Takyi and Nicholas Armah.
