With this  number, the government wants to appoint more people than other  constituents,\u201d the head of European Studies at the University of Ghana  added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also believes such a law will make lecturers and university \nadministrators \u201cbootlickers\u201d in order to advance on the academic ladder,\n adding \u201cThe Minister of Education can give directives as to how the \nschool should be ran [when the Bill becomes law]\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Controversial Clauses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clauses 5 and 12, the contentious clauses in the 48-clause bill \nstipulate among others that the governing body of a Public University is\n a Council which shall consist of the following nine members appointed \nby the President:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(a) a chairperson nominated by the President;<br>\n(b) the Vice-Chancellor;<br>\n(c) four persons nominated by the President, one of whom shall be a woman;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(d) one representative of the registered Unions in the university on rotational basis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(e) one representative of the University convocation elected by the convocation;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(h) one representative of the students of the University, nominated by the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students\u2019 Union; and<br>\n(j) one representative from the National Council for Tertiary Education who shall be a non-voting member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also states that the chairperson and other members of the Council \nshall be appointed by the President in accordance with article 70 of the\n Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President may dissolve and reconstitute the council in cases of \nemergencies or appoint an interim council to operate for a stated \nperiod, according to the draft bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Education Ministry<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the Minister of Education, Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh has \ndismissed reports that government is seeking to stifle the academic \nfreedom of the public universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe President has given his word to all Vice Chancellors, when they \nmet him and assured him that the common admission platform will be ready\n to use in the 2021 academic year,\u201d he said in an interview with online \nnews portal, abcnews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He continued, \u201cthe Vice Chancellors paid a courtesy call on the  President and the President stated emphatically that he as a president  and his government has nothing to do with stifling academic freedom. In  fact, this draft bill is the first bill in this country to try and  define what we mean by academic freedom using examples of how other  nations have developed it. If it has to be improved, we are hoping for  that but the government will not and must not and does not intend in any  way to stifle academic freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>credit: myxyzonline.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Ghana\u2019s former Ambassador to India, Sam Pee Yalley has rubbished the&nbsp;Ministry of Education\u2019s&nbsp;draft bill for Public Universities to provide the procedure for the establishment of <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/index.php\/2019\/04\/11\/public-universities-draft-bill-doesnt-make-sense-pee-yalley\/\" title=\"Public Universities Draft Bill Doesn\u2019t Make Sense \u2013 Pee Yalley\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3330,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.6 -
