Some 22 UCC students have been suspended over a recent clash between two halls.

UCC sued over suspension of 22 students
The Alumni of the Atlantic Hall has dragged the
management of the University of Cape Coast (UCC)
to court over its decision to suspend 22 students
of the hall.

Management of the university over the weekend
found 22 students culpable over clashes that
ensued in the university during a hall celebration
by the Ogua Hall residents – leading to the
stabbing of three students in March.

They were thus rusticated to serve an academic ban
ranging from a period of two to four semesters.
They were made up of 17 males and five females
with nine in their final years, another nine in
third year while two are in their second and first
years respectively.

But the move by the university, according to
Emmanuel Owusu Boakye, the organising secretary of
the Alumni, is unwarranted.

For him, it is “evil” and they are working on
behalf of the students to file a case in court to
compel the school to reverse its decision and
reinstate the students.

“We have actually file a writ at the Cape Coast
High court seeking for an injunction on the
ongoing examinations,” he observed.

According to him, the investigation conducted by
the school was inundated with incoherence thus
“…Going ahead to rusticate these students is
so so unfair and evil.”
