This is the time we need students to be thinking about ways to improve the situation in the country in innovative ways not getting involved in ***barred word*** acts as these.They should more concerned about life outside school. No one ever asked me in a job interview or in any serious situation which Hall I was at the University.
This is a very shameful conduct to be happening at an institution of higher education. I believe the students involved should be out rightly dismissed to serve as a deterrent to others. If such behaviors are not nipped in the bud, we stand the risk of churning out a violent breed of 'educated folks' who could repeat such behaviors at national level;promoting social violence. Being a graduate of University of Ghana, I think this is to the extreme and it is a 'no no' Dialogue in the best means in this regard.
