Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Court in Kampala has dismissed a case in which a master\u2019s student had sued Makerere University Kampala (MUK) and Makerere University Business School (MUBS) for failing to include her name on the graduation list upon her successful completion of studies.<\/p>\n

While dismissing the case filed by Ms Patience Agaba, the presiding judge Musa Ssekaana held that the failure to graduate her was lawful since she continued to study after she had been duly notified of the cancellation of her admission.<\/p>\n

According to Justice Ssekaana, Makerere University issued a cancellation letter dated April 28, 2011, which terminated its services to Ms Agaba, and she has admitted provisionally something which meant that her documents were subject to verification as stipulated under section 45 of the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act of 2001.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, for one to be admitted by the defendant for a Masters in Human Resource Management must have graduated from a chartered university yet the plaintiff holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in Ethics and Developmental Studies from Uganda Martyrs\u2019 University before it was chartered which led to the cancellation of the plaintiff\u2019s admission,\u201d ruled Justice Ssekaana.<\/p>\n

Adding: \u201cThe defendant university had all powers to cancel the admission of the plaintiff since she had been provisionally admitted. The plaintiff\u2019s case is dismissed with no order as to costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Court ruled that MUBS as a third party is affiliated to the MUK and thus it\u2019s only mandated to perform courses on behalf of MUK which provides instructions as agreed upon, and thus MUBS has no powers to nullify the decisions made.<\/p>\n

According to court documents, Ms Agaba was admitted on August 18, 2010, to a master\u2019s degree programme in Human Resource Management at MUBS where she paid all the necessary school dues and undertook the academic work upon receipt of the admission.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon verification of the plaintiff\u2019s academic documents, it was discovered that she had graduated before Uganda Martyrs University was chartered, something which led to the cancellation of her admission on grounds of ineligibility and breach of admission policy,\u201d the document read in part.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Plaintiff was notified of her cancellation on April 28, 2011, and required to take a refund of all her monies so far paid. The Third-Party MUBS was notified to cease any relationship with her,\u201d the court documents stated further.<\/p>\n
