Two lecturers in BBC sex for grades to face sanctions

Two lecturers at the University of Ghana will face a disciplinary commission after an investigation set up by the university found evidence that they had breached its code of conduct with their behaviour that was exposed in the BBC Africa Eye’s sex-for-grades film.

Prof Ransford Gampo and Dr Paul Kwame Butakor were secretly filmed propositioning journalists posing as students for the documentary.
Both men denied any wrongdoing.

They were suspended in October pending an investigation.

The university has now said that a fact-finding committee established that the two men had gone against the code of conduct, which says that staff “shall at all times comport themselves in ways that will enhance their image and that of the university.

The two lecturers could face sanctions ranging from a dismissal.
