The Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) has called on Parliament to discontinue the passage of the Public Universities Bill.
According to a press release issued by (GAUA), the Association bemoaned events surrounding the bill.
“The Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) is very disturbed about the recent rhetorics and public discourse on the Public Universities Bill from the Minister of Education and some members of Parliament and the subsequent media reportage on the issue.
GAUA has been part of the stakeholders who submitted memoranda and eventually met the Parliamentary Select Committee on Education on the Bill. However, if the recent rhetorics and the document we have sighted as having been laid before Parliament for consideration is anything to go by, then it will not be wrong on our part to conclude that the position of GAUA on the draft Bill has not been considered as any useful input.
