The Students' Representative Council (SRC) of the Ghana School of Law says an admonition by the Director of the school for students to live above reproach wherever they find themselves, including on social media, does not constitute a directive.
It is “a reiteration of general caution to the student body to abide by the school's code of conduct within and outside the school including social media platforms,” a statement issued by the SRC on Wednesday noted.

The Director of the Law School, Yaw Oppong, made the request for “everybody” “to provide their social media handles” for monitoring of students’ conduct during the swearing-in ceremony of new SRC Executives.

Below is the statement by the SRC.
