22 UPSA students dismissed for trying to manipulate IT system to change grades

Twenty-two students of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) have been dismissed for attempting to manipulate the university’s information system to change their grades.

At the ninth congregation and special congregation of the university in Accra last Saturday, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Abednego F. Okoe Amartey, said the Academic Board took the decision to dismiss the students at an emergency meeting on February 15, 2017.
 
“The Academic Board took a serious view of this conduct, considering the potential it has to damage the credibility of the university, and further resolved that seven of the dismissed students who refused to cooperate with the investigation process should have their photographs published alongside their names to serve as a deterrent,” he added.

The identities of the 22 students were not disclosed by the vice-chancellor.
