Alumni of Unity Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology(KNUST) Old Continentals Association has threatened parents not to attempt bringing their female wards to the Unity Hall vis a vis the decision of the University authorities to convert the all-male Unity Hall into a mixed hall.
Though the decision by the University is yet to be implemented, the old boys, led by their lawyers, aside taking a legal fight to oppose the move by the university authorities has also issued a stern warning to parents not to heed to the directives of the University until the final determination of a lawsuit challenging the decision.
“We are sending a word of caution to parents: please parents we respect you, do not send your female wards to the Unity Hall because the impending chaos against the University is not ending now,’’ Counsel for the old boys, Lawyer George Tetteh Wayo told Accra-based 3FM.
The school has said the conversion will increase female enrollment in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics education.
Meanwhile, a lawsuit has been filed at a Kumasi High Court, seeking the court to place an injunction restraining the university from converting the all-male hall to unisex.
According to them, attempts to alter the character and nature of Unity Hall from an all-male hall to a mixed hall is discriminatory.

***barred word*** boys being lead by ***barred word*** alumni. Strange the alumni is encouraging the student to be violent on this issue. How dare you warn parents? what will you do, kill the female students or what? The university and it's facilities have to be managed to the benefit of all Ghanaians and if the council through deliberation is coming with this measure, I expect the alumni to engage in a matured discourse with the university. Instead you are still f000ling with the students.
