The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has suspended the processing of all major requests from the University of Cape Coast (UCC) following a standoff over the continued stay of Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong, who has exceeded the compulsory retirement age.
In a letter issued on Monday, GTEC said UCC’s Governing Council has been under a High Court injunction since October 2024, barring it from making decisions on Prof. Boampong’s appointment. Despite this, he remains in office, contrary to constitutional and statutory provisions.
The regulator announced that it will no longer process requests from UCC covering accreditation, government salary subventions, GETFund support, book and research allowances, recruitment clearance, or post-retirement contracts until the university complies with its directives.
