The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has decided to retain the current election system for selecting Pro-Vice Chancellors and Deans. This decision was made during an Emergency General Meeting held on Thursday, August 20, 2026. The union emphasized the importance of broad participation, collegiality, transparency, and confidence in the selection of university leaders as key reasons for maintaining the existing system.
Despite a member challenging the vote due to a previous electronic voting precedent, the UTAG-KNUST upheld the decision, as the previous electronic voting was only applicable to decisions involving industrial action. This choice will guide the association's interactions with KNUST authorities and other stakeholders as the university proceeds with its review of statutes.
