GTEC Directs Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah to Stop Using “Professor” Title The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has officially instructed Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah to desist from presenting herself as a professor, stating that her records do not support that title.  This decision follows the Commission’s assessment of documents provided by her representatives concerning her academic background. According to GTEC, Dr. Ayensu-Danquah’s claim of being an Assistant Professor of Surgery at the University of Utah was inaccurate. The university clarified that her role was specifically Adjunct Assistant Professor , a part-time, non-tenure track appointment.
