The management of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has dispelled claims that the appointment of the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong, has been terminated.
This is on the back of an earlier statement purportedly coming from the council of the university under the signatory of Prof. Harold S. Amonoo-Kuofi, terminating Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong’s appointment as Vice-Chancellor (VC), effective August 1, 2024.
According to the statement, Prof. Boampong’s appointment officially ended on July 31, 2024.
The notice then directed Prof. Boampong to immediately hand over his office and official effects to the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the university.
However, UCC management clarified that the university council has not convened to make such a decision.
Records from the council’s last meeting on July 30, 2024, indicate that discussions did not cover the Vice-Chancellor’s appointment.
“Council has not met to discuss or take such a decision and that, as its last meeting on Tuesday 30th July, 2024, records available indicate that matters discussed and decided upon did not include the Vice-Chacellor tenure.
“The university community and the general public are therefore entreated to disregard the publication,” they stated.
