UHAS SRC Veep Deposed, Faces Rustication Over ‘Fraudulent’ Conduct

By: KALD | Voltaonlinegh.com |

The federal vice president of the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) Students Representative Council (SRC) has been deposed with immediate effect by management of the university.

Mr. Isaac Nyande, a medical laboratory science student was stripped off his post upon the recommendations of the university’s Disciplinary Committee for junior members chaired by Dr. Ama Edwin.

The UHAS registrar, Dr. Cynthia Kpeglo in a memo dated March 20, 2019 and sighted by voltaonlinegh.com, directed the SRC to remove its vice president from office after he was ‘found culpable of fraudulent conduct’  reported against him on December 3, 2018 by a Level 200 midwifery student (name withheld).

Though, the internal memo did not touch on details of the alleged fraudulent conduct by the SRC veep, excerpts of the disciplinary committee’s report cited by this news portal also recommended in addition to his removal,the immediate rustication of the SRC vice president for a semester.

It further directed him to refund an amount of GHS 1,250 which he (Nyande) owed the complainant with a 10 per cent interest.

The committee cited Mr. Nyande’s failure to appear before the investigative body on two occasions as basis for its recommendations.

The report among other thing, also directed the complainant to report Mr. Nyande to the police since the matter was fraudulent in nature.

The registrar in her memo to the SRC stated that, ‘the university has approved the recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee in accordance with Item 9.16.2 of the UHAS Handbook 2018.’

She further directed the SRC to make the necessary arrangements to replace the deposed executive, while calling for a mechanism in place to screen those standing for student leadership positions.

‘Such students should be above board and must have shown integrity in their behavior and endevours,’ the memo concluded.

Being a multi-campus university, UHAS SRC runs a federal administration whereby there are elected federal executives in addition to locally elected officers at both the Ho and Hohoe campuses.
