They will just come out with their decisions and impose on the students and I don\u2019t think it is the fault of the JCR bodies so why are they removing them,\u201d a student said.<\/p>\n<p>Another student also noted that the banning of students from participating in the organisation of what is termed as \u2018morale\u2019 and\/or \u2018procession\u2019 was in place. He, however, does not agree with the abolishment of the Junior Common Room system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is going to help calm the students because recently what we have been experiencing is so bad. Some of them throwing stones against each other, causing injury is too much. It is going to help calm this intense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A student also said, \u201cit is really fair because the other halls don\u2019t do morale and those processions so banning hall activities won\u2019t be fair .. we need the programmes to release stress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe JCR system can\u2019t control the student like when it comes to morales and the others,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>                <!-- Post Tags --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students of the KNUST have reacted to the sanctions imposed by the University authorities.
