KNUST Statutes update sparks fresh debate as staff challenge official narrative
In a statement released by Management, the University said the Governing Council constituted a committee in March 2026, following the coming into force of the KNUST Act, 2025 (Act 1157), to prepare draft statutes for implementing the legislation.
According to the statement, the committee engaged colleges, academic and administrative units, staff unions, student bodies and other stakeholders between April and July 2026 before presenting a draft to an emergency meeting of the Academic Board on Aug.
However, some staff members have challenged several aspects of the statement, arguing that it omits key events surrounding both the passage of the KNUST Act and the ongoing statutes review.
