The Students Representative Council (SRC) of the External Degree Center (Workers College) have stated that they would resort to demonstration as a result of the total neglect of their plight by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Ivan Addae Mensah.
In an interview with 'The Crusading Guide', the students, who for the past two years have been urging the authorities of the University of Ghana to reconsider their decision of forcing students of the Centre to pursue their 4 year undergraduate courses on their Campus (Workers College) which lacks facilities, accused the Vice Chancellor (VC) of giving them a "raw deal".
The SRC President Samuel K. Andoh submitted that the VC on a Radio Univers current affairs programme sought to create the impression that students of the Centre were being favoured. "The VC said that they had helped us, that meant that under normal circumstances, we wouldn't have had admissions. There are some of us here who have equally good grades like 7,8,9,10 etc like the students in the mainstream of the University of Ghana. Now if you are telling us that you are favouring us, are you telling us we are unqualified?
His comments were very unfortunate because we are all students on the basis of merit and not favour", the SRC president fumed.
