This read more like someone working under the dean. Yea, the writer couldn't write good english, but it is possible a private lawyer who has had issues with this dean decided to tarnish his reputation to show where power lies. A true parent concerned about his son's education would have used a better channel rather than a news page for this. Towards the end of the article, the author gave himself away because he sounded more about vengeance than about his son's educational welfare.

I would like, first, to respectfully draw the attention to the typographical error regarding the date of the publication of the anonymous article as stated in the faculty's response. It should read "17 September, 2015" and not the futuristic date of "20th October, 2015". We should all be mindful of the finacial and budgetary constraints faced by most tertiary institutions worldwide - UCC is no exception. We as Ghanaians must approach these unforeseen and daunting challenges of the tertiary institutions with understanding, balance and empathy rather than making meritless and groundless allegations/attacks born out of ignorance under the cloak of anonymity. It is unfortunate for any parent/s associated with UCC in any manner or form to make such unwarranted and uncalled for personal attacks on the hard-earned reputation and integrity of the founding dean and members of the faculty, in particular and UCC generally. We should all be part of the solution rather than the problem in finding long-lasting solutions to some of the problems which are the subject of the article. After all, if a parents is not happy with the performance of the faculty there are laid down regulations/procedures to follow in in airing any concerns/grievances thereby assisting this great University in addressing same rather than publicly bringing an unsubstantiated matter which does not stand up to close scrutiny. I am not alone in having high regard and respect for our esteemed founding dean of the faculty as well as its other members who are very professional and all giving off their best in these exceptionally difficult circumstances. In short, let's all be part of the solution as opposed to being part of the problem. God bless the faculty and its invaluable human resource. Victor Twum Savage, a sponsor of a second level student of UCC.

I would like, first, to respectfully draw the attention of the Law faculty to the typographical error regarding the date of the publication of the anonymous article as stated in the latter's enlightened response. It should read "17 September, 2015" and not the futuristic date of "20th October, 2015".

If the University of Cape Coast had been retained in its original conceptualization, nurturing, and propping up as the prime mover for the training of teachers for the country's educational institutions as initially begun by the Great Osagyefo, it won't be in the news this way for this rejoinder.
Woefully, it has failed and its management not been properly attuned to do the right thing to uphold standards.
The UCC has now followed suit and been fractured into an ordinary institution, offering all kinds of courses and programmes to the detriment of its original ideals and the country.
It is disappointing to see the UCC (my alma mater) drawn into diverse areas of medicine, agriculture, law, etc. as if it can do better than Legon and UST thereby.
Why can't there be any specialization anywhere in Ghana? The UCC under the late Prof. K.B. Dickson shone. Under the crop of Vice Chancellors and Chancellors (Sam Jonah, for instance), its light has not only dimmed but gone phat!! A UCC awarding an honorary doctorate to ex-President Kufuor when it wasn't accredited for such a mission? Disgraceful.
And there are many more to worry about.
Whoever posted this rejoinder is retarded and needs a revival/re-awakening in contemporary thinking about university education!!
