The release said first semesters on the Legon Campus was usually characterized with stressful and cumbersome registration processes and asked students to bear with the university authorities as they tried to find lasting solutions to the problems.

It also urged students to adopt dialogue rather than confrontation in addressing any issues that might arise concerning their studies and stay on campus.

It further urged "all members of this intellectual community to be very circumspect and mindful as much as possible about our utterances".
