The three key administration personalities namely the Vice Chancellor, the registrar and the financial officer have been told to cease with operations, what exactly does this mean in effect? Legal gymnastics at play here. The University cannot run without these officers in their offices. Simple.

Both Afenyo Markin and the judge do not know how universities operate. so we can forgive them for thier ignorance. The Vice chancellor is the CEO, the Chief administrator, the chief disciplinarian, the Chief Spending Officer. So If he is asked not to Operate it is just like severing the head off the body. life would be extinguished. Without the VC, the Registrar, or what we call Principal Officers The University cannot Function. So Mr Afenyo Markin the Registrar did no wrong by closing down the University

This singular act of the University Authorities is very spectacular and shows that the teachers are supreme in knowledge, reasoning and interpretation.
Congratulations my dear University Authorities.

It looks like Afenyo markin did not appreciate the implications of what he asked for when he asked that the principal authorities of the School should cease to operate.

I agree entirely.A court must weigh the balance of hardship in relation to the plaint's reliefs and to that of the respondent.Who unjustifiably suffers most if the order is granted.

How can the University function without these key decision makers. In their absence who would authorise spending, sign important documentations needed for progression. This is real politics at its best.

Most of us are expressing our ignorance here. So you guys know the law more than the judge?

It is not about the law. He asked the principal officers of the University not to function. It boils down to saying there should be no head of the institution. It is not about ignorance

Probably somebody else should interpret fopr the judge the administrative structure of an institution of higher learning. The three people who are not to act are the day-to-day adminstrators and in this particular there is no way someone could be acting in their stead. It is not about their persons. It is about the office, Mr Judge

But Every University has a Pro-VC, deputy finance director and Deputy Registrars, so why cant the University function in their absence. Should a plane crush kill all three will the University close down immediately because of that or will it continue running?

The Vice-Chancellor, Finance Director and Registrar are not dead in a plane crash. They are very much alive breathing pure oxygen with all their faculties intact so your argument my friend is moot!

Surprised you spoke this way. I hope you read the reliefs being sort by the plaintiff. The issue on hand is if these key principals do step aside, there is no one to take over because the pro vc who should was confirmed by the council whose authority is being questioned which automatically means he is equally illegal as the plaintiff claims the other officers are. Let's understand the issue at hand before we remark.

as a layman i find it difficult to interpret the ruling otherwise than as did UEW because it was the offices (of v-c, registrar and finance directorate) that were to cease operations, and not being the appointing authority, the court has no power, i believe, to remove the individuals who at any time may be holding office, consequently, those offices in my view cannot be operated by deputies etc as to do that is tantamount to operating! well, i'm only a layman and, perhaps, should leave lawyers to talk big english!

Mr Kwame, I think you are ignorant about how authorities operate in our universities, so I can forgive you. But let me tell you Afenyo Markin is just such a vindictive person. The guy he is using now as a puppet in this case is the same guy he used in the landmark supreme court ruling on the postponement of district assembly election. First he is bitter that the current VC of uew was appointed bcoz he think he is an NDC member, that's why apart from requesting the resolution of the board, he also want the VC to be replaced by the pro-vice chancellor ,and all the roads construction that was awarded by the current administration be rendered illegal, this because the construction of the roads was done by the NDC chairman who is a contractor. He doesn't care about about the repercussions of the reliefs he is asking for, especially we, the vulnerable students; even those who have completed 4years ago, will not be left out. So we are talking about thousands of student. Both the judge and Afenyo are ignorant about processes at the university, if not why do grant those reliefs and still expect the university to operate. Is it not the same board you're challenging that approved the Pro vice chancellor too. Greedy bastards!!?? But Afenyo should know that we students played a role in him retaining his seat in Parliament.

Mr Alex Amoah, are you sure you read the press statement by the University you claim to belong to? I very much doubt you read the statement. The registrar merely communicated the decision to the public, he did nothing unlawful, he didn't go against any ruling. I guess those of you who choose to hold the registrar responsible for doing this job must really have something against him. Let's not be quick to conderm actions we are not equipped to understand.

If the Vice Chancellor, the Registrar and the Finance Officer of the University are restraint, who then administers the University? Closure was implicit...don't fault them.
