Foh Amoaning insists University of Ghana changed its statutes to allow LGBT activities
Private legal practitioner and lecturer Moses Foh Amoaning has insisted that the University of Ghana changed its statutes to make homosexual activities acceptable in the university.
The university, in a statement issued on November 24, 2025, challenged a claim made by Foh Amoaning that it had changed the statutes, saying that “The university's statutes do not mention gender identity, gender expression or sexual orientation. The university does not promote or support LGBTQ+ activities."
Reacting to the statement in an interview on Radio Univers, the veteran lawyer, citing one Prof Windari, said the statutes had been changed to promote LGBT activities.
“There are a lot of people who are close to the Vice-Chancellor. So we prompted them, I'm not going to mention names… we said, ‘Please, can you talk to madam? We don't understand what is happening. Can you approach her so she can explain?’
“Her answer was, ‘Oh well, this is an academic thing. It's nothing.’ Then we said, really, this is a public university, you're changing its statutes to reflect a culture which is LGBTQ+ driven. I will demonstrate that DEI and inclusivity, and these pronouns, are LGBTQ+ driven. The issue can boil down to what did Professor Windari say? And I've quoted what he said. He said, ‘We're changing the pronouns to get gender-neutral pronouns,’” he said.
He explained that the acceptance of gender-neutral pronouns only means that LGBT activities are now acceptable in the university.
“What is the meaning of that? Then you're moving away from the normal biological sex to ideology. That is what it is. If the Vice-Chancellor doesn't know, that is exactly what it is, because gender-neutral pronouns are transgender pronouns. They use ‘they, them and their’,” he said.

He took issue with the biblical references made in the statement, saying, “I saw in their response, they were quoting the Bible. That is even perfidious. If you go to England right now, they are now ordaining homosexuals into the clergy,” he said.
The university, in its statement, said that the controversy emerged after the National Coalition for Proper Human Sexual Rights and Family Values wrote to them seeking clarification over perceived gender-neutral language in the revised statutes.
The Registrar of the University of Ghana, in a response dated November 10, 2025, explained that the changes adopted by the University Council were part of a broader move toward a gender-agnostic model, removing gendered pronouns such as "he" or "she" to ensure consistency with constitutional values.
The university noted that the Vice-Chancellor "has consistently demonstrated leadership in promoting inclusivity and remains committed to upholding the institution's values."
Reaffirming its core mandate, the university said it remains focused on "conducting impactful research that advances national development, training the next generation of critical, ethical and Ghanaian scholars, and sustaining the highest standards in academic and professional conduct."
