The NAB should publish twice a year the list of accredited institutions. Unaccredited institutions parading as accredited should be prosecuted for fraud against the state.

Govt must dissolve current UPSA council and form another which will have enough intelligent individuals and academicians.What these will mean is that all current lecturers contracts must be review and severe audit done so as to smoke out all those using fake doctorates to lecture in that school.Also govt must make sure that the next VC is academically qualified with enough experience in the academia than that fake SMC garbage that currently chose as vc. What crime has UPSA students committed ,so that the imbecille council will be forcing fake SMC doctorate garbage lecturers down their throat???? this is a very serious crime and ought to be dealt with the supreme court and the perpetrators and all those who connived to unleash this great scam on poor student of upsa and university education in general must be punished severely.

You couldn't even express yourself very well. Besides, let me also let you know that when the home country or home state of an institution of higher learning refuses to give them accreditation, that institution is doomed forever. It suggests to academics that the institution isn't good enough to be accredited, and what such failed and inferior institutions do is to scout around for relatively cheaper accreditation boards with lower standards.

When UPSA wrote to find out about the SMC from the Swiss Embassy, they were diplomatically warned to be cautious with a private university. They were being cautious because they couldn't openly condemn the institution, but were generous enough to be careful with a private university, but the not so smart UPSA authorities accepted and ran with that letter as though it was affirmation of SMC. The fact that the SMC is even in the news about its credentials should be enough warning signs for serious institutions. Universities are supposed to be the pinnacle of institutions providing knowledge to its products, and under no circumstance should they succumb to an inferior source of knowledge.

In a nutshell, the faculty of UPSA are saying SMC is better than them, hence their ability to train their faculty and administrators. But why should anybody patronize such an institution with limited foresight and the inability to evaluate quality among institutions of higher learning? Just shaking my head.

If you have any issues go and solve it intellectually in your board room and not throw vile propaganda about in the news media.you said you are PhD. such a waste of intellectual time.

They were parading a letter that claimed that UPSA had to train their staff, and seriously, why would a big university choose such an online institution, even if accredited, to train its staff? UPSA phds, if indeed they have well trained doctors, could have provided the training they needed. They could have even registered them next door at UG or even UCC or Tech, since they are much much better than that fake institution SMC, but what am i talking about; they wanted a quick degree without doing the work.

I looked at the credentials of the newly appointed VC and couldn't believe what I saw? That guy won't even qualify for the position of an assistant professor, which is the entry level in most US institutions, much more to rise to become the VC. Oh Ghana, we aren't serious!

No they were in hurry to appoint fake SMC doctorate VC so that he can protect their fake certificates. it will never happen.That must expect several sues following this announcement by NAB, so if they are smart, they better suspend and remove all those fake SMC fake doctors from their academic positions,and henceforth they should stop polluting those poor students with their garbage knowledge.

I have nothing to do with your upsa and no nobody in that university. much of all i know about it, i read here, and i get involved in such discussions because i am an educator and worry for people like you.

where i teach, we appoint vice chancellors or presidents after rigorous adherence to processes that start with the hiring consultants who will oversea the entire process, announcements of the vacancies nationwide, and allowing the consultants who are nationally acclaimed for hiring personnel for such big positions to determine who to employ. As a faculty, I may be invited to attend public meetings of interviews etc, and at times through my faculty senate, I may make an input regarding my expectations etc.

This petty stupidity of claims that critics are folks who wanted their allies to be hired as vice chancellors will never wash in a very serious university - it is stupidity, I can't say that enough, and embarrassing. I don't know and care less about your disgraced fake doctors at UPSA. I just feel sorry for you all because it is embarrassing to me as a ghanaian.

Anyway, now that you mentioned it, it probably makes a lot of sense the authors wanted to stop the appointment of this guy as the VC, but isn't that a good cause? Why should those not qualified be promoted to such a big position in academics when the growth of our nation depends on the quality of its trainers?

Anything from UCC, Tech, Legon, and UDS etc would have a heavier weight than those from such mushroom universities, no matter the number of institutions giving them accreditation.
