“There is a generic rule that the halls go by so anytime you break a university regulation, depending on the magnitude, you can either be rusticated or suspended because this is not a sickness that affects only one person, so we do not want the situation where the recalcitrance of one person will affect everyone,” Dr. Akenten told Accra-based Citi FM.
The University of Ghana will be admitting over 10,000 fresh students for this academic year despite the pandemic.
This comes after President Akufo-Addo, during his last COVID-19 address in December, announced the reopening of schools.
Ghana’s Coronavirus situation seemed to be improving towards the end of 2020 but there’s been a spike in recent weeks.
