The Students Representative Council SRC of the University of Ghana in a news conference condemned the act and the threats on the lives of senior university staff by some students.
The SRC has called on the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
The SRC president Miss Louise Carol Serwah Donkor viewed the decision of the university authorities to introduce the “In-Out-Out-Out” policy as an attempt to breach its contract with the continuing students at level 300, 200 and 100.
She said they reject the policy because of the negative effects on students’ social, political, economic and academic well-being.
She urged the authorities to rescind their decision in the interest of peace and stability to avoid bringing the name of the institution into disrepute.
