The Vice Chancellor, Crown University International Chartered Inc. (Ghana, Americas and other partner Campuses Worldwide), formerly Crown University College, Accra Ghana, Prof. Bashiru Aremu, has commended the Government of the United States of America for granting the institution Global Chartered Status as a Chartered body to offer Academic, Technical and Professional courses worldwide.
The VC disclosed this on Saturday in an interview when asked why the the higher institution now bears a new name and to give more explanation on the benefits of the new status granted it by the US Government to the society.
According to the world renowned Professor of Computer Science, Information Communication and Technology, the institution was granted the new status with chartered file number: 7594662, which was filed at the Office of the Secretary of State at City of Dover in the State of Delaware, USA.
Aremu said this was also in accordance with the legal documents he received from the Secretary of State of Delaware, USA, Jeffrey W. Bullock, that the University now has international, global chartered status to operate as an internationally chartered autonomous university in all the countries of the world.
The VC defined the words “Chartered” and “Charter” according to Oxford dictionary: “Chartered is a written grant by the sovereign or legislative power of a country, by which a body such as a city, company, or university is founded or its rights and privileges, also defined: A charter is the grant of authority or rights, stating that the granter formally recognizes the prerogative of the recipient to exercise the rights specified.”
He gave more explanation on the benefits of the new development the Institution has from the US Government: “Leaders of Crown University hope the new chartered university will be more than the sum of its parts.
“Leaders hope the new chartered university would be more successful in attracting both funding and new students.
“Universities were chartered to award more own degrees and could within limits lay on whatever courses they liked.
“There are existing non-profit corporations, chartered under the current United States of America Corporations Act, at first State (State of Delaware).
“For example in 1843, the Alfred school became an academy, and in 1857, it was chartered as Alfred University.
“The same thing applied to Harvard University as well.
“So our International Charter at Crown University will give us more power as autonomous University.
