GAUA strike leaves some KNUST administrative offices operating below capacity
The ongoing strike by the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) has begun to disrupt administrative services at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), with some students and national service personnel being asked to return at a later date to access services.
The ongoing strike by the Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) is causing disruptions in administrative services, with some offices operating below capacity. While key student-facing units remain open, payroll, auditing and other units are affected. A KNUST student who traveled to the university for NSS documentation endorsement was informed she must return later, causing concern about potential financial implications due to the delay.
The KNUST GAUA chapter supports the strike, arguing that administrators have the right to strike for their demands. The chapter's General Secretary emphasized that GAUA members are not intentionally sabotaging university operations and that the strike should be understood as passive. The association believes the absence of administrators will highlight their critical role in keeping university systems running smoothly, even when their work is often unseen.
