  "summary": "The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Management has responded to concerns raised by the University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG-KNUST) regarding the appointment of Pro-Vice-Chancellors and Deans. In a press release dated September 10, 2026, the Management clarified that no final decision has been made on the matter, as the Academic Board meeting held on September 9 only considered the draft report of the Statutes Committee and made inputs to it. The Management stated that the academic board's report, together with the draft Statutes and recommendations, will now be submitted to the University's Governing Council for further consideration and possible approval. The Management emphasized that the review of the Statutes is being conducted with inclusiveness, consultation, and transparency as key priorities, and assured UTAG-KNUST and the wider university community that their views and legitimate concerns will continue to be part of the review process.",
