Law School SRC president ordered to resign over exams failure

The president of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) of the Ghana School of Law, Philemon Laar, has resigned from his position on the orders of school authorities after failing one of his papers.

In a letter to Laar, management said he can no longer hold himself out as SRC head having failed his PLC Part 1 exams.

“This decision has been premised or based on the fact that Mr. Philemon Laar was not successful at the recently held PLC Part 1 Exams and has to repeat Part 1. Consequently, he cannot hold himself out as president of the SRC. He is hereby advised to resign,” the letter signed by the registrar, Ghana School of Law, Juliet Adu-Adjei, said.

Laar became SRC president of the Ghana School of Law in June 2020. He was once SRC president of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

He has been involved in student activism and mentorship of student leaders across the country.
