Prof. Ernest Aryeetey, Vice Chancellor Of University of Ghana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nUniversity of Ghana Vice<\/span> Chancellor, Prof Ernest Aryeetey has been re-appointed for a second term in Office. His first tenure ends in July this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
Prof Aryeetey\u2019s re-appointment was decided at the University Council\u2019s meeting on Thursday March 27, 2014.<\/p>\n
His first tenure has seen him introduce some policy decisions which in his view would transform the state University into a world class tertiary school.<\/p>\n
Among some of such policies is a feeding programme<\/span> for students which<\/span> saw some opposition from the student body and was therefore put on hold pending review.<\/p>\nProf Aryeetey has also abolished the \u2018perching\u2019 system where students without residences on campus shared accommodation space with their colleagues. He scrapped that system as part of a decongestion<\/span> exercise in the halls of residence.<\/p>\nThe University\u2019s bad roads have also been fixed with a loan facility under his leadership. He introduced a controversial road tolling system toward recouping the loan for repayment, but Government intervened to stop the tolling with a promise to absorb the charges.<\/p>\n
The Bureau of National Investigations, at a point, demolished the school\u2019s toll booth,<\/span>which it claimed was causing nuisance to commuters.<\/p>\nRecently, the University also introduced another policy toward ensuring serenity on campus by closing all its entrances, except the Okponglo entrance, to traffic. The other entrances are reserved for commuters with a special University sticker sold at Ghc400 per annum. The policy, according to the University is aimed at avoiding the use of the campus as thoroughfare<\/span>.<\/p>\nAdditionally, Prof Aryeetey\u2019s tenure has seen an upsurge in security on campus at<\/span> the halls of residences and also on campus in general.<\/p>\nAcademically, he is phasing out all diploma programmes<\/span> with the intention of focusing the University\u2019s attention on research work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nSource: Daily Graphic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
