Individual evidence

1. ↑ The VC position is for four years, with a two-year renewal clause, and considering the fact that the compulsory retirement age is 60, anybody above 56 is ineligible to apply. It was gathered that apart from of the incumbent Prof Andam, the last two VCs before him, namely, Professors Ayim and Amonoo-Neizer, went through similar experiences.
