Education Minister warns university councils against interfering in management

Speaking at the commissioning of a new hostel facility at Wisconsin International University College at Feyiase in the Ashanti Region, the Minister said government has strengthened governance structures in tertiary education to ensure clear separation of roles between university councils and management.

As I stand here, I, as Minister for Education, do not interfere with the council of any university and how the council supports the management of the institution,” he said.

He warned that councils that “worry” or unduly interfere with university management were acting outside government’s policy direction and should desist from such behaviour.
