  • Research Article the Challenges of Student Affairs at Kenyan Public Universities
    Journal of Student Affairs in Africa | Volume 1 (1&2) 2013, 33–48 | ISSN 2307-6267 | DOI: 10.14426/jsaa.v1i1-2.34 research article The challenges of student affairs at Kenyan public universities Tamara Yakaboski* and Matthew Birnbaum** Abstract Kenya is increasingly turning to the promise of mass higher education to help solve a range of economic and social issues. These efforts have had profound effects on university students, faculty and professionals who provide the vital student support services necessary for academic success. This case study explores the challenges that face Kenyan student services professionals within the context of the country’s history and cultures. Kenya’s student service professionals face four major challenges: the increasing costs of attendance, the resulting impact on student behaviours and actions, lack of training and senior leadership, and regular campus closures. Keywords student affairs, accommodation, student housing, student services, university environment, higher education. The challenges of student affairs at Kenyan public universities Kenya is increasingly turning to the promise of mass higher education, meaning a shift from an elite to an open system of access, to help solve a range of economic and social problems (Jowi, 2009; Kenya Vision 2030, 2007). The national government has made its commitment to post-secondary education evident through the addition of over 25 public universities and constituent colleges since 1994 and its adoption of policies encouraging rapid enrolment growth in nearly all post-secondary institutions. Between 2010 and 2013, Kenya made nearly 20 constituent colleges and branch campuses into stand-alone universities. Even with this growing capacity, Kenya’s demand for access to affordable higher education far exceeds the system’s ability to deliver quality instruction and student support (Ngolovoi, 2010; Owuor, 2012).

  • Maasai Mara Research Project 270215
    Maasai Mara Science and Development Action The aim of the Maasai Mara Science and Development Action is to develop a platform that will support a large-scale interdisciplinary research programme for integrative conservation and development in the Maasai Mara. Large nature areas in Africa and their uniquely rich megafaunas are subject to complex interactions with the human societies in which they are embedded, involving both cultural, socioeconomic, organizational and political dimensions. At the same time, the ecosystems have their own inherently complex dynamics also impacted by anthropogenic climate change, with the famous wildebeest migration in Masai Mara-Serengeti providing a key example. While rich megafaunas with large annual migrations were once common across the Earth, they now form a unique African heritage and survives only in a declining, small part of the continent. Masai Mara hence constitutes a unique and irreplaceable part of Africa’s nature. Allowing it and other megafauna-rich ecosystems to persist in an increasingly human-dominated world will require the development of integrative approaches. These approaches must go across disciplines to tackle the complexity of external and internal societal and natural factors that now affects these ecosystems and concurently develop a sutainable society. All these factors together will determine the dynamics and ultimately the fate of these ecosystems. The framework built in the Maasai Mara Science and Development Action, will have broad applicability and relate to many global challenges of ecological sustainability in a world with ever increasing human population and resource use. The challenges of the Maasai Mara may thus be local, but the perspectives are global.
