Knust where is you been a good Samaritan or your brothers keeper. After his masters from you , he needs no introduction for the PhD. Knust must offer him full scholarship. Or if they want Maame Naa to come in?
The US consulate can get him a school in USA under the ADA . Knust please quickly admit or reinstate him by Monday. It is a disgrace or embarrassing. Hail Mary full of grace ,,

Thumbs up in support of Isaac. He should be admitted to do his Phd an facilities should be provided for his success. Physical disability cannot be a basis of discrimination in any form or manner. He is mentally cable and that is the basis upon which he was granted admission which should not have been reversed.

Yes, Baah has a solid point here. You issued with an admission letter. That is the most underlying point here. Then you revoked the admission, not once but twice. It is due to the incompetence of the University. There is no coordination even in the 21st century of managing institutions. These are a bunch of incompetent morons at the helm parading as professors and administrators. All what they do us slimy politics instead of quality research.

It was very sad that the applicant was unjustly rejected for admission. KNUST must offer him with admission and full scholarship to pursue his chosen program.

Your guess may be right @Kwasi in Europe, but it should be committed to him. However, was it not the same university who offered him admission to pursue his masters. KNUST, you erred big time.

There many reasons PhD admissions are revoked.
Receiving admission letter is never a guarantee that the student will be able to pursue the course he or she has been admitted to pursue.
Some reasons could be
1. Lack of or insufficient funding on the part of the University.
2. Lack of external sponsorship or the withdrawal of sponsor's funds.
3. Lack of supervision. This when the supervisor withdraws his supervision, or the university cannot assign a supervisor
4. In adequate or absence of research facilities.
5. Administrative error. This when an application has not received the academic/admission board's approval but has been issued by the faculty.
6. Inadequate student's references
7. The student failure to satisfy all admission requirements.
It important for the University to inform the student the reason for the revocation of the admission and perhaps give the student opportunity to make amends if it was the student's fault, only if that can be done.
However I don't think that the student can sue the University and be successful.
I don't think this is a case of discrimination.
The University can use any of the above reasons to support their case.
In principle the University owes none the reason to withdraw admission offer.
