The management of the University of Ghana, Legon, has been given a week to reconsider its decision to remove enrolled students from the Commonwealth and Mensah Sarbah halls.

The Old Vandals Association claimed that if the school's administration did not reverse the decision, they would look into other options to persuade the university council to act.

This morning, the Old Vandals Association barged onto campus to express their support for current students impacted by management's choice.

All continuing male students of the all-male Commonwealth Hall and Mensah Sarbah Hall would not be allowed to return to their residence halls or any of the traditional halls, according to the ruling.

“They are to be randomly assigned to available rooms in any of the UGEL and private hostels,” a communique on December 14, said.

Students who are upset claim that this is the school administration's most recent effort to stifle student activism on campus and create divide freshmen and continuing students.

Additionally, they have requested that the management make public the findings of the investigation into the altercation between the two male halls last year.

Vice Chancellor of the institution Prof. Gordon Awandare responded to the Old Vandals by calling the group's bluff.

“I’m not sure in which world that former Vandals want to run a university. The University is run by the University council. Former vandals are not part of the running of the university.

“We don’t owe them any report. This is not how to ask for documents from the university. To incite students to demonstrate. Please, they should do better than that,” he said.
