Authorities at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), have re-opened the University’s campuses.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe University of Education, Winneba wishes to inform the general public that its offices on all Campuses (Winneba, Ajumako, Kumasi and Ashanti Mampong) have opened for normal business effective Friday 16th June 2017,\u201d a statement from the University\u2019s Registrar said.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”rKsqKMk9YGniHIEmvq4zLz6wIoNvFTXl”]Authorities at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), had closed down all of the school\u2019s campuses following a court ruling indicating that some actions taken by the school\u2019s Council\u00a0were illegal.<\/p>\n
All of its campuses were to remain closed until Friday, June 16, 2017.<\/p>\n
The members of the University Community, comprising UTAG executives, Deans, Heads of Department, and representatives of Senior\u00a0Members therefore\u00a0decided to shut down the University after the court’s decision.<\/p>\n
A private citizen,\u00a0Supi\u00a0Kofi Kwayera, in May\u00a0sued the University of Education and the Education Ministry for what he said was the unlawful extension of the school\u2019s Governing Council\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n
In a writ sighted by\u00a0Citi News<\/strong>, he also accused the Governing Council of misappropriating the funds of the University after the expiration of two tenures in 2013.<\/p>\n The suit came months after the Member of Parliament for Effutu, Afenyo Markin, called for\u00a0the immediate withdrawal of thousands of certificates issued by the University of Education, Winneba, since 2013.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Winneba High Court judge, Justice George Atto Mills-Graves, presiding over the case later clarified that he did not order the University of Education, Winneba to be shut down as has been widely reported in the media since Tuesday.<\/p>\n He said a\u00a0press release by the University announcing the temporary closure influenced the impression that the court had issued an order for the school’s closure.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Delali Adogla-Bessa\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Authorities at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), have re-opened the University’s campuses. \u201cThe University of Education, Winneba wishes to inform the general public that its offices on all Campuses (Winneba, Ajumako, Kumasi and Ashanti Mampong) have opened for normal business effective Friday 16th June 2017,\u201d a statement from the University\u2019s Registrar said.
