Academic activities at the Grand Bassa Community College (GBCC) is at a standstill as the faculty are threatening to protest until the administration can address their demand for salary increment. Plans are well underway by the staff to embark on a go-slow action in demand of salary increment — a situation that has stalled normal academic activities at the institution. The GBCC’s Board of Trustees and the institution’s president, according to the investigation, tussled over the unwritten implementation of the college’s policy on hiring of staff, salary ranges, etc. “There are some instructors who are working part time and are demanding salary increment for full time, which is unacceptable,” Dr. Gbessagee said. GBCC registrar Amos Gibson said despite the distribution of clearances, all activities on the campus are now on hold due to the mounting tension.
