The University of Ghana Council has recommended for the removal of the hall master and senior tutor of Commonwealth Hall following violent clashes between students of the hall and that of Mensah Sarbah Hall.
The council also recommended that Commonwealth Hall be charged with the cost of damage to property in the vicinity of Mensah Sarbah Hall.
A bust of John Mensah Sarbah was stolen during the clash on 5 August. Also, the SRC Union Building signboard and newly renovated SRC notice board were also destroyed during the clash.
In a statement, the council recommended that the management of the two halls be held accountable for their actions and inactions for the persistent riots.
“The hall master and senior tutor of Commonwealth Hall have not exhibited sufficient willingness and ability to hold students of the hall accountable for their actions in the recent violent clashes,” the council said in a statement.
In addition, students who are offered places in halls of residence are also to be made to sign undertakings to be of good behaviour.
