| Notes | ESTABLISHMENT OF THE INSTITUTE Tertiary Institutions are unique communities committed to creating and transmitting knowledge. They depend on freedom – the individual’s freedom to explore ideas and to explore and further their own capabilities. Those freedoms depend on the good will and responsible behaviour of all the members of the community, who must treat one another with tolerance and respect. They must allow one another to develop the full range of their capabilities and take full advantage of the institution's resources. The Institute of Professional Studies was founded in1965 as a private Institution and was taken over by government in 1979. It was subsequently, established as a tertiary institution with the mandate to provide professional education in the academic disciplines of accountancy and management by the Institute of Professional Studies Act, 1999 (Act 566). The Institute is Ghana’s only public institution that offers both Undergraduate Degree Programmes and internationally recognized and acclaimed Professional Programmes. The Institute educates, develops, nurtures, cultivates, inspires and transforms individuals to equip them with knowledge and life skills to be effective in the competitive working business environment. Hence one becomes not just a spectator but a player wherever he/she finds himself or herself. In the regulations, the Institute of Professional Studies (IPS) sets out the kind of behaviour that disrupts and inhibits the normal functioning of the Institute, and what actions it will take to protect the community from such disruption. Like other Institutions, IPS has expectations about how its students will behave, and rules to follow when students are accused of violating those expectations. These procedures describe those rules, which are designed to protect both the Institute’s image, property and any of its student members who are accused of disrupting it; and what the student's rights are. It may be necessary to suspend or expel students who have been found responsible for violations of this Regulation, or who otherwise pose a substantial danger to the campus community. By combining explicit academic knowledge with tacit interpersonal skills, the Institute delivers holistic paradigms to its students. It is expected that some of the products of the Institute will assume leadership roles, as curriculum developers, instructional co-ordinators and supervisors, in pre-school education, basic education and in the functional literacy programme. It may be necessary to suspend or expel students who have been found responsible for violations of these Regulations, or who otherwise pose a substantial danger to the campus community It was established by the Institute of Professional Studies Act, 1999 (Act 566) as a tertiary institution with the mandate to: • provide tertiary education in the academic disciplines of accountancy and management; • undertake the education and training of professional marketers, accountants and persons in other related fields of management; • provide continuing management education and specialist training for professional accountants and business executives; • promote accounting and management practice through research, seminars, lectures and other related activities and • offer courses leading to the award of Certificates, Diplomas, Higher National Diplomas and Degrees subject to such conditions as the authorities responsible for tertiary education shall direct.
