The Ghana School of Law’s Students’ Representative Council (SRC) has denied reports that members have been directed to submit social media accounts for monitoring to authorities.
“The SRC wishes to state that no such directive has been issued to any student by the Management of the Ghana School of Law,” the Council said in a press release issued on Wednesday, November 9.
According to previous reports, the Director of the School, Yaw Oppong, directed students to submit their social media handles for monitoring for good behaviour during a swearing-in ceremony for new SRC executives.
“Everyone will be required to provide their social media handles,” he stated.
“We’ll look into it, and you’ll be monitored in terms of behaviour.” The law requires us to make recommendations. We don’t want to crush you.”
According to the SRC, Mr Oppong only reiterated a general warning to students to follow the School’s code of conduct both on and off campus, including social media platforms, in light of management’s expectation that many students will be called to the bar.
