The University of Cape Coast Governing Council officially ended Johnson Nyarko Boampong's time as Vice Chancellor after deciding his two-year extension violated constitutional rules about mandatory retirement at age sixty. The council met and looked at a court case that got dropped, plus guidelines from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission, before concluding Boampong had to step down when he hit the retirement age cutoff.
His second term wrapped up on his sixtieth birthday, and the council said their revised decision cancels any previous paperwork that mentioned extending his appointment beyond that point. The whole situation came down to making sure university leadership follows both campus regulations and national constitutional requirements.
