The Ghana Association of University Administrators (GAUA) has reactivated its nationwide strike effective Monday, August 10, 2026, over what it describes as persistent disparities in market premium and related allowances between teaching and non-teaching senior members in public universities. In the communiqué, Congress expressed concern over what it called widening disparities in market premium. It said the average teaching senior member now receives about GH¢10,000 in market premium, compared with approximately GH¢4,718 for a non-teaching senior member, "within what remains an analogous paid structure". "It is particularly troubling that the lowest-ranked teaching senior member now receives a higher market premium than the highest-ranked non-teaching member, a registrar or a finance officer, even though both categories were placed at the same market premium level when the SSSS was introduced in 2012." The Association maintained that its campaign is "not directed against teaching senior members" but rather seeks "equitable treatment for all senior members based on transparent, objective and consistent principles".
