An Accra Fast Track High Court has set 25th June, 2010 as the date for ruling on the case in which students of Commonwealth Hall of the University of Ghana have taken the authorities to court, to restrain them from converting the Commonwealth Hall into a mixed and graduate one.
The students led by some members of Old vandals Association are seeking to prevent the respondents; the University Board Council, the Registrar Prof. Kwesi Yankah, and the Executive Committee from going ahead to implement the decision beginning next academic year.
During proceedings, counsel for the applicants Nana Ato Dadzie argued that it is never true that students of JCR of the Commonwealth were the students who obstructed the congregation procession on the 13th March 2010, stressing that past events at the Hall cannot be related to the current students.
But counsel for respondents Ace Ankomah Annan objected to his submission, saying the university has already instituted some measures and are in the process of implementing them.
He explained that as part of the measures, the authorities intended to admit only fresh students into residency and to also consider level 400 students in some cases leaving levels 200 and 300 students out.
On the conversion, the counsel could not come to terms with why the decision to convert the Commonwealth Hall has been met with stiff protestation since it was not the first time the universities are converting a single sex hall into a mixed one.
The presiding Judge K. A. Ofori Atta after listening to protracted arguments from both sides in the heavily packed court set 25th June, 2010 for the ruling.
