Contributed by Emmanuel Weedee-Conway |A Liberian educator has cautioned the President of the Association of Liberia University (ALU) to respect the decision of President George Manneh Weah as he continues with the appointment of public officials. Established in August of 2006, ALU is a conglomeration of over 34 higher learning institutions including full-fledged universities, junior colleges and community colleges across the country. The association was among other things, established to maintain high academic standards in all Liberian universities and colleges to promote collaboration, cooperation, consultation and exchange of ideas and personnel, among students, faculty, and administration of member Universities. However, Dr. Emmanuel Bravy Daykeay said President Weah’s appointments of those officials at the named higher learning institutions violate no law as claimed by the ALU’s President. He furthered that the act of ALU President to challenge the Liberian leader’s appointments is against the scope or mandate for which the institution was established.
