Court documents sighted by GhanaWeb showed that a three-member panel of the Court of Appeal allowed an appeal filed by Prof Rexford Assasie Oppong against the university’s Registrar. The Vice-Chancellor of KNUST, Prof Rita Akosua Dickson, in March 2023, constituted a fact-finding committee chaired by Prof Samuel I.K. In August 2024, the Registrar wrote to Prof Oppong conveying directives from the Vice-Chancellor based on the committee’s findings. The Vice-Chancellor subsequently directed Prof Oppong to apologise to the two colleagues. The panel therefore ordered that the Registrar’s letter dated August 13, 2024, containing the directive for Prof Oppong to apologise, be brought before the court and quashed.
