Rector accuses Chief Justice of collapsing school

The rector said the embargo placed on fresh admissions into the law faculty of the school is unlawful.

Speaking at the inauguration of new Council Members for the school, the rector said the embargo placed on fresh admissions into the law faculty of the school is unlawful.

He pleaded with the president, Nana Akufo-Addo to intervene.

“Before the end of November, Council will constitute a delegation to meet government, the NAB, and then the Judicial Service because the Chief Justice is also particularly against the location of Mount Crest University and she is seeking also to destroy Mount Crest University, what hurts is that she is from Akropong and I am from Lartey and it appears that it is our own people who have become our enemy. I will say it now, I want you to convey to the President that this is what is going on because the letter from National Accreditation Board to us that we should cease taking any new student was on the letterhead of the judicial service and we are told it was written by a supreme court Judge Sophia Akuffo who is now the Chief Justice."

“I regret to say that the Private Universities see the role of the National Accreditation Board as very oppressive, very divisive and very destructive. I had invited the Vice President but he is not here ,I was going to appeal to him. Accreditation Board, its Executive Secretary is seeking to destroy Mount Crest University College and I am fingering its Executive Secretary, Kwame Dattey, I want government to investigate the circumstances that have led to the placing of a ban on the admission of fresh students to Mount Crest University College’s faculty of Law”.

The Rector added that “we have been disabled from admitting Law Students primarily because we have a very deplorable University Institutions. You are here now and you’ve seen even our modest beginning is not in a deplorable condition”.

“I want you, honourable members in our midst to come and visit us in our Kanda Campus to see for yourself whether we have the facilities conducive to academic learning or academic business. We also want to appeal to you to use your good offices to come and see for yourselves whether this year we have admitted any law student so that you can advise government. If we have, then the embargo should continue if we haven’t then it should be lifted because it is unjustifiable, it is excessive, it is capricious, it is arbitrary and its amount to abuse.”
