This move comes after a thorough investigation found Dr. Appiah guilty of misconduct, violating the university’s policies on sexual harassment and misconduct.
According to a notice signed by the University’s Registrar, Mrs. Emelia Agyei-Mensah, Dr. Appiah’s actions contravened Section 1.1(A) of the Sexual Harassment and Misconduct Policy and Section 10.0 of the Code of Conduct for Academic Staff. As a result, he will face a two-semester suspension, effective immediately.
In addition to his suspension, Dr. Appiah is required to issue a formal written apology to the complainant and will be barred from applying for promotion for one year after serving his suspension. Furthermore, he must undergo training on sexual harassment and misconduct, facilitated by the university’s Anti-Sexual Harassment Committee.
