The University Teachers Association of Ghana (UTAG) – University of Cape Coast branch has rejected a proposed policy by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) aimed at harmonising promotion guidelines for academic staff across public universities, describing it as an overreach of regulatory authority. In a statement issued on June 29, 2026, UTAG-UCC said the proposal goes beyond GTEC’s statutory mandate and interferes with governance functions reserved for university governing bodies under existing laws.
