Ashesi University (/ɑːʃˈs/ a-shii-si') is a private, non-profit university located in Berekuso, near Accra. The mission of Ashesi University is to educate ethical, entrepreneurial leaders in Africa; to cultivate within students the critical thinking skills, the concern for others, and the courage it will take to transform the continent.[2]

Ashesi was established as an independent, public benefit education institution operating on a not-for-profit basis. The university obtained accreditation from the Ghanaian National Accreditation Board (now the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission) in September 2001 to operate under the mentorship of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), with degrees conferred by UCC. Ashesi began instruction on 4 March 2002. Ashesi University received a Presidential Charter from the President of Ghana, effective January 2018, making it an independent university that confers its own degrees.[3] It is a member of the Council of Independent Universities,[4] the Association of African Universities[5] and the Association of Commonwealth Universities.[6]

History

Feasibility study

A team of four MBA students from the University of California Berkeley's Haas School of Business travelled to Ghana to evaluate the feasibility of establishing a new university in 1998. The team administered over 3,300 surveys to students and parents; conducted interviews and focus groups with parents, teachers and business leaders; and gathered secondary information from local and international sources. The study concluded there was significant demand for a new private university in Ghana, that Ghanaian parents were willing to pay for high-quality local university education, and that the Ghanaian government supported private involvement in tertiary education.[7]

Foundation and accreditation

The Ashesi University Foundation was founded in 1999. Its name transcribed in Akan as " Ahyɛase" means "beginning"[8] The university was granted accreditation by the National Accreditation Board of Ghana in 2001 under the mentorship of the University of Cape Coast and began classes in 2002. Ashesi students elected the first female university student government president in Ghana's history in 2006 and its first Examination Honour Code in 2008.[9] Ashesi University completed a new campus in Berekuso in 2011. In 2015, Ashesi launched its engineering programme,[10] and its founder, Patrick Awuah, became a MacArthur fellow.[11] In 2018, it received a charter from the president of Ghana, allowing it to grant degrees in its own name instead of that of the University of Cape Coast.[9][12]

Ashesi University's 100-acre campus contains the Natembea Health Centre, two sports courts and a sports centre with a football field, running track and gym.[13][14] It also hosts the Ghana Climate Innovation Centre.[15][16]

The architecture borrows from the Ghanaian vernacular, with echoes of traditional compound houses, as well as elements of traditional Northern dwellings. The natural contours of the site are used in concert with buildings to create exterior gathering spaces throughout campus, as well as ramps that provide wheelchair access to buildings. Buildings are designed to maximize natural views, light and ventilation. Groundwater is supplemented with harvested rainwater, filtered and treated to provide potable water all year round. A community-scale sewage and organic treatment plant provides environmental and economic benefits by converting waste to biogas for some of the campus' cooking needs and recycling treated water for landscaping.[17] The university meets 40% of its daytime electrical needs with solar power.[13]

Organisation and governance

Ashesi University has 88 teaching staff and more than 150 administrative staff[18] organised into the departments of Humanities and Social Sciences, Business Administration, Computer Science and Information Systems, and Engineering.[19] The Ashesi University Foundation,[20] which raises funding to support the mission of the university, is a United States 501(c)(3) organization.[21] The foundation is overseen by its board of trustees,[20] while the university is overseen by its board of directors.[22]

Academics and recognition

Ashesi offers a four-year bachelor programme grounded in a multidisciplinary core curriculum, featuring majors in business administration, management information systems, computer science, electrical and electronic engineering, computer engineering and mechanical engineering.[23] It runs Ashesi Innovation Experience, a two-week programme which exposes students between the ages of 15 and 19 to Leadership, Entrepreneurship, Robotics, Creativity and Engineering basics to help prepare them for transitioning into college,[24] and oversees the curriculum development for the Next Generation Cocoa Youth Programme.[25]

In 2012, the university was ranked by PwC as the seventh most respected organisation in Ghana, becoming the first university to make the list. Ashesi's president, Patrick Awuah, was also ranked the 4th Most Respected CEO in Ghana.[26][27] It was ranked as one of Ghana's 50 Best Places to work by Ghanaian consulting firm Goodman AMC in 2015; it was again the only university on the list.[28][29] Also in that year, Ashesi's president was ranked by Fortune as one of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders.[30] In 2017, Ashesi was awarded the World Innovation Summit in Education Prize, one of the world's biggest prizes in education, for its impact on higher education in Africa.[31] In 2020, Ashesi University ranked first in Ghana, ninth in Africa, and in the world's top 400 in the Global Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings.[32][33]

Raksa pada ikan

Aktivitas pembakaran batu bara atau penambangan besi dapat mengkontaminasi sumber air dengan metil raksa, yang kemudian terserap ke dalam tubuh ikan. Akibat proses biomagnifikasi, kadar raksa pada predator lebih tinggi daripada ikan-ikan yang diburu oleh mereka. Raksa dalam bentuk metil raksa terkonsentrasi di dalam tubuh ikan dan kerang. Metil raksa adalah senyawa organik yang sangat beracun. Produk-produk ikan mengandung logam berat dengan kadar yang berbeda. Ikan yang hidup lama dan berada di…
