MONROVIA, LIBERIA – The University of Liberia Faculty Association (ULFA) has strongly criticized the University of Liberia for its decision to cancel the results of the law school entrance examination, terming it as unacceptable and a sign of administrative and managerial inconsistency.
The law school entrance examination, which took place from January 8 to 10, 2024, saw scores of citizens participating to secure enrollment at the prestigious institution. However, on May 2, 2024, the University of Liberia’s public relations office announced the cancellation of the results, citing applicants sitting the exam without submitting all required documents as one of the key reasons for the decision.
In response, ULFA issued a press release expressing frustration and describing the move as uncivilized, warning that such actions could undermine the institution’s credibility. ULFA emphasized that as Liberia’s flagship university, the University of Liberia should uphold professional standards in all its dealings to set an example for higher education in the country.
The association called for a reconsideration of the decision, urging all stakeholders to make honest efforts to maintain quality standards at the university. ULFA highlighted issues such as applicants not receiving exam numbers despite payment and the unclear deadline for registration, questioning the legitimacy of the examination under such circumstances.
Furthermore, ULFA called on the University of Liberia’s Board of Trustees to urgently address the issue to uphold the university’s integrity. The association warned that if the decision is not reversed, they will seek other means to protect the university’s image.
The ULFA’s stance reflects the concerns of many regarding the handling of the law school entrance examination results, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in academic processes at the University of Liberia.
