According to a senior lecturer at the University of Ghana (UG), the management’s decision to move male students from Mensah Sarbah Hall and continuing students from Commonwealth Hall will stand.

In order to safeguard lives and property on campus, Professor Ransford Gyampo claimed the University leadership was steadfast in its resolve to prevent additional altercations between the “rivalling” two halls.

Prof. Gyampo said this to the Ghana News Agency after the Old Vandals Association – old students of the Commonwealth Hall – had demonstrated over the relocation of continuing students of the Hall.

A section of the Old Vandals Association converged on Tuesday, January 03, 2022, at the Commonwealth Hall of UG to register their disagreement with the University’s management over the relocation of continuing students

The Old Vandals Association has converged on campus this morning to give solidarity to current students against what they call the victimization of the students by the school’s Management to expel them from the traditional halls. 

Professor Gyampo said the University would not sit down unconcerned about the activities of the two halls to bring chaos and disaster to the campus.

He said the students could hold their traditional programmes in the halls, however, practices that brought chaos and harmed human rights would not be tolerated by the University.

“University of Ghana will not tolerate any nonsense sentimental attachment to halls of residence,” he stressed

He alleged that the decision was earlier communicated to and accepted by the leadership of the Old Vandals Association, adding that, a section of the Association that demonstrated at the hall was only bent on causing havoc.

The University of Ghana Council had warned all continuing students of Commonwealth Hall and all continuing male students of Mensah Sarbah Hall not to return to the halls or any of the traditional halls.

The students are to be randomly assigned to available rooms in any of the University of Ghana Enterprise Limited or private hostels.
The Council said continuing female students in Mensah Sarbah Hall and students with special needs in both halls would not be affected by the directives.   The changes were necessitated by repeated cases of violence involving students of both halls.
