Higher education institutions are academically independent and regulate their own academic affairs and administrative processes. The Universities Act, 1997 confers on universities autonomy with regards to the internal day to day running of the institution, the administrative processes, and the academic and operational affairs of the institution. It is therefore not under my remit to intervene in this matter.
