Professor Johnson Nyarko Boampong has been instructed to remain in his position as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) until the Commission investigates the circumstances surrounding his termination. The Commission says that the UCC Council hasn't said anything to the contrary about giving Professor Boampong a second two-year term. On August 1, the overseeing chamber of the College of Cape Coast ended the arrangement of Teacher Johnson Nyarko Boampong, whose four-year term started in June 2020 and authoritatively finished on July 31, 2024. A notice signed by Professor Harold S., chairman of the university's governing council, despite the alleged two-year extension, Amonoo-Kuofi ruled that such an extension was unconstitutional. "In the meantime, given the University had previously communicated the appointment of Prof.," GTEC stated in a statement dated August 2: Johnson Nyarko Boampong has been appointed Vice Chancellor by the Commission (GTEC) for a second two-year term, despite no opposition from the University Council, Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong will keep his position as Vice-Chancellor until the Commission has looked into the issues and said what it thinks. In addition, GTEC instructed the university's management to provide it with all pertinent documents regarding the alleged renewal and termination of the Vice-Chancellor's appointment. "You are hereby directed to furnish the Commission with all documents concerning the renewal and purported termination of the Vice Chancellor’s appointment as well as all correspondences, court processes, and communique on the matter by Friday, 9th August 2024," reads the order, "Given the Commission’s mandate to ensure that the management of the University is not interrupted."
