ATLANTIC HALL STUDENTS DRAG UCC TO COURT

Following the unfortunate disturbances that occurred at the university of Cape Coast between students of Oguaa Hall and that of Atlantic Hall earlier on in March this year during a programe organized by the latter, The Management of the university has rusticated some 21 students from Atlantic Hall believed to have caused the riot that damaged property to the halls and school.

In a statement released from the leadership of Atlantic Hall Alumni Association (AHAA) in response to this development has expressed their deepest sadness at the decision arrived at by the University Management. They indicated that this unfortunate decision by the Management of the University was only meant to absorb itself of blame and with the help of a one sided media made the world believe the students themselves caused their own mess. The Association is further convinced that, the method adopted by the University’s Management on resolving the conflict is illogical, very deficient with common sense and colloquial. They wish to make certain facts clear to the general public by this release.  Meanwhile leadership of AHAA has resorted to legal process and will duly Institute the legal process on Monday if the University acts recalcitrant and does not recall their rustication.
