Prof Ransford Gyampo and Dr Paul Kwame Butakor were referred to the Committee following the release of the documentary after they were found culpable of conducting themselves in a manner that caused embarrassment to the University. In the report, a copy of which is available to Joy News, the Committee said “…the title of the documentary ‘Sex for Grades’ is misleading and sensational. “The Committee finds that the totality of the evidence before it there is a huge variance between the import title ‘Sex for Grades’ and the content of the actual video recording of the affected lecturers of the University of Ghana,” the report added. The Committee after examining available evidence, however, finds credible evidence of misconduct against Prof Gyampo and Dr Butakor contrary to Paragraph 6.4 of the Code of Conduct of Senior Members of the University of Ghana.
