The Executive Committee of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology(KNUST) has suspended indefinitely, Hall and SRC weeks and massing up of students leading up to ‘morale’ activities on campus.
The decision was taken after a fact-finding committee was constituted to establish the causes of Thursday’s clash between students of the University and Unity Halls which led to the destruction of properties including vehicles.
A statement signed by the Registrar of the University, AK Boateng disclosed that
“Random security checks of persons and vehicles entering and exiting the University campus are to be carried out. The Transport Department of the University has been directed to take custody of all the vehicles that were vandalized during the disturbances and make appropriate recommendations for repairs.”
It added: “Management of the University wishes to express its profound gratitude to the Security Agencies, particularly, the Ashanti Regional Police Command, for their swift intervention in restoring peace and order on Campus. We would also like to assure the University Community and the general public of the commitment of Management to ensure uninterrupted academic activities in the university.”
There is currently a heavy police presence on campus after the disturbance which left 12 people injured and three vehicles damaged.
