The Anti-sexual Harassment Committee of the University of Ghana says the damning BBC’s ‘Sex for Grades’ documentary which implicates some lectures of the premier University in Ghana is worrisome.
According to the chairperson of the committee, Dr. Margaret Amoakohene, even though the university frowns on the conduct of the two lecturers captured in the investigative piece, the evidence does not point to the allegation.
“The video is worrisome, very worrisome but what I saw in the video is not harassment but misconduct on the part of the lectures. The situation the lecturers found themselves was not right for them. Most of the things in the video have to do with misconduct, not harassment,” she told Kwame Afrifa-Mensah on Happy FM’s Epa Hoa Daben show.
She added that “Per the analysis on the video, there’s no direct correlation between lecturers’ conduct and the allegations made by the video. The evidence does not point to sex for grade.”
Professor Ransford Gyampo, Head of European Studies at the university, according to the BBC report allegedly requested one of the BBC reporters who posed as a student seeking academic favours to marry him whiles Dr. Paul Kwame Bukator at the College of Education, was pleading with one of the alleged students to be her ‘side guy’.
