The University of Ghana has refuted allegations by private legal practitioner Moses Foh-Amoaning that it altered its statutes to endorse LGBTQ+ activities on campus.
In response to the lawyer’s claims that the University Council, led by the Vice-Chancellor, had made such amendments, the institution described the allegations as “false, misleading, and defamatory.”
The University stated that its 2024 statute review did not introduce any provisions admitting or endorsing LGBTQ+ activities, and all revisions comply strictly with national laws.
The only change involved replacing gender-specific pronouns (e.g., “he,” “she”) with the singular, gender-neutral terms “they” and “their.”
The institution explained this was a linguistic update to streamline the statutes, citing the widespread acceptance of the singular “they” in academic, legal, and religious texts.
It University further clarified that it had responded to previous enquiries from Mr. Foh-Amoaning’s coalition.
The management also condemned the unwarranted personal attacks on the Vice-Chancellor, stating attempts to personalize an institutional governance matter were in bad faith.
