Management of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) has dismissed a student who was captured in a viral video whipping another student for bizarre reasons.
The decision is part of efforts to uphold discipline in the school.
In a video which went viral in March, one female student identified as Mabel Teye-Nomo was seen in the hallway of the school’s hostel verbally abusing the much younger victim while assaulting her with a cane at the UPSA Hostel.

The University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) tasked its Disciplinary Committee to probe the incident on April 6.
Submitting its report, the committee recommended Mabel Teye-Nomo ’s dismissal from the CIMG Access Course as her actions contravene the school’s regulations.
This prompted UPSA’s Registrar, Dr. Koryoe Anim-Wright, the Vice Chancellor to order her to also hand over her keys to the hostel room and the University’s student ID card.
In a statement dated April 19, 2023, Dr. Anim-Wright, said Ms.Teye-Nomo is being sacked under Schedule G Section 8.4 of the University’s Fundamental Regulations.
