Making reference to alleged Corruption, the concern graduates said Dr. Menjay allegedly in a bid to shell his deeds attempted to manipulate and financially induced some members of the board of trustees to escape rigorous oversight responsibilities by allegedly buying their silence.
They also alleged that the Tubman University President is keeping the names of dismissed employees on the payroll of the University and is diverting funds into his account for personal use over the years.
Other allegations of which the graduates want urgent investigations by the LACC is the arbitrary promotion of staffs due to alleged favoritism and not on merit based and policy driven process including the conspicuous pay rise by the President allegedly to his allies.
At the same time, they pointed out President Menjay’s alleged regular and long absenteeism from the University including using the institution’s resources to go to unauthorized international travels.
