  • Why Kenya's Decision to Appoint 'Corporate' Chancellors Won't Fix Universities
    Why Kenya's decision to appoint 'corporate' chancellors won't fix univers... https://theconversation.com/why-kenyas-decision-to-appoint-corporate-... Why Kenya's decision to appoint 'corporate' chancellors won't fix universities Ishmael Munene The choice of chancellors appointed to head universities is a good indicator of the direction in which the state seeks to steer its institutions. It can foster or erode autonomy and shared decision-making. This has been a big issue in Kenya for decades. But the country isn’t alone. The balance between university autonomy and politicisation is relevant everywhere. In the British tradition, which Kenya generally applies, the university chancellor is a ceremonial head of a university. This titular head is usually a prominent citizen, a business or political leader. The executive academic and administrative head of the university is the vice-chancellor. Since independence the chancellors of public universities have either been heads of state or their appointees. They preside over graduation ceremonies, can give advice to the university councils, and make recommendations to the cabinet secretary of education. In theory the chancellor is a ceremonial position. But in practice Kenya’s chancellors are able – and even expected – to steer their universities in specific directions. This power is underlined in the three epochs that characterise the evolution of public universities’ chancellorship in the country. These are the political chancellor; the academic chancellor; and, more recently, the corporate chancellor. The corporate chancellor, common since 2013, is a response to mounting financial challenges facing Kenyan universities. The appointees include successful bankers, businessmen, corporate chief executives, industrialists and philanthropists.

  • 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).

Docentur significance and implications Those qualified to be accepted as docent1 will have completed a doctoral degree, or have an equivalent level of competence and will also display requisite levels of academic and pedagogic proficiency. Local rules for skills evaluation have been set by the Vice Chancellor of Uppsala University on 2000-04-11, ref.no. 1794/98. The Faculty Board accepts unremunerated docents within the research areas of the faculty. A docentur in a subject means that the holder of the title has documented independent research capacity and teaching skills as well as possessing a significantly higher level of academic competence than is required for a doctoral degree. A docentur is unremunerated and is not tied to nor does it entitle employment at the university. The Faculty of Theology recognises applications for docentur in: - History of Religions and World Christianity - History of Religions - World Christianity - Empirical-practical Studies of Religion and Theology - Sociology of Religion - Practical Theology - Didactics of Religion - Biblical Exegesis - Hebrew Bible Exegesis - New Testament Exegesis - Church History and Mission History - Church History - Mission History - Systematic Theology - Studies in World Views and Christian Theology - Islamic Theology - Ethics - Philosophy of Religion 2.

  • Case Study: Manchester-UMIST
    Case Study 4: The University of Manchester and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology Introduction 1.This case study is about the process leading up to the merger between the Victoria University of Manchester (VUM)) and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) which was agreed by the Councils of both Institutions in March 2003. It is to be implemented from October 2004 as the Courts of both Institutions have agreed to petition for a new Charter to replace both existing charters. History and Background 2. Both VUM and UMIST share much common ancestry and until 1994 they retained a formal, closely collaborative, relationship. UMIST had been the Faculty of Technology of VUM and had awarded VUM degrees. UMIST’s computing services were supplied from VUM and the two libraries collaborated through a consortium arrangement involving other Manchester institutions (the Consortium of Academic Libraries in Manchester – CALIM). However, UMIST had its own Charter and had always been a distinctive separately funded institution. 3. In 1994 UMIST ‘felt no need to continue within the formal relationship’ and decided and approval was granted for it to award its own degrees. For a time students were able to choose which degree they wanted - VUM or UMIST. However, academic and support links persisted. Among others there was a federal School of Management, joint Department of Materials Science, and joint services including careers, counselling and accommodation. 4. During the late 1990s, UMIST saw the need to emphasise its separate identity and, in particular, to expand its activities in the life sciences.

  • Breaking Barriers Through Edmodo: a Qualitative Approach on The
    Breaking Barriers Through Edmodo: A Qualitative Approach on the Perceptions of University of Malaya Undergraduates Breaking Barriers Through Edmodo: A Qualitative Approach on the Perceptions of University of Malaya Undergraduates Farha Alia Mokhtar Universiti Malaysia Terengganu Abstract With the advancement of digital technology, software and applications are overwhelmingly accessible to teachers and students. Digital designs for teaching and learning are highly encouraged by scholars as they prepare students of today for the demands of the future workforce. Thus, many educators use available social networks for their classrooms. However, the use of social networks in education presents disadvantages, as their invention is geared toward social networking purposes. Therefore, it’s important to ask whether social learning platforms, such as Edmodo, provide a better alternative. The research aims to elucidate strategies for and advantages of executing Edmodo in education. The research employs purposive sampling, which led to sample of a total of four undergraduates from a prestigious Malaysian university. The research frameworks are on the theories of constructivism, hermeneutics, symbolic interactionism, and interpretivism, which focus on the process of meaning making and one’s interpretation of a phenomenon. It aims to generate insights and sharing through in-depth interviews using interview protocol, photographs, and concept maps. The study executes open coding to identify emerging themes; axial coding, which focuses on finding the themes’ consistency; and selective coding, whereby core categories are selected in order to illuminate Edmodo’s effects. The findings are presented in a narrative manner. The pedagogical implications pertain to how Edmodo breaks barriers by enabling students to access learning resources beyond the classroom and empowering student-centered learning through novelty of tasks, suitable learning environment, and mobility.

  • Thomas Lothian Johnston DL, FRSE Professor of Economics and University Vice-Chancellor the Announcement of the Death of Tom John
    Thomas Lothian Johnston DL, FRSE Professor of Economics and University Vice-Chancellor The announcement of the death of Tom Johnston in The Scotsman made no mention that he was a professor and a principal and included no reference to his doctorate and many honorary degrees. Nor did it say he was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh; indeed, had been its president. That was Tom. He would have liked that. Those born in Hawick are known as Teries. Thomas Lothian Johnston was born in Whitburn, the family moving to Newcastleton near Hawick shortly thereafter. So Tom, with a Border surname, became a proud Borderer and in every respect other than his place of birth, a real Teri. A contemporary at Edinburgh University, aware of Tom's academic skills, asked him why he had not thought of going to Oxford or Cambridge. Tom's reply was that had there been a university at Hawick he wouldn't have come to Edinburgh. From Hawick High School he joined the navy, serving as a sub-lieutenant. Many who were in the services in these days found it to be a life-changing experience and it was said of Tom that the navy shaped him. Graduating at Edinburgh with first-class honours, he was much influenced by the legendary professor of economics Sir Alexander Gray, who, recognising Tom's potential, appointed him as his "varlet", to devil up aspects of Sir Alexander's research. He also encouraged him to continue his studies at the University of Stockholm. This gave him a European, indeed an international, view for the rest of his career.

  • Final Decision on Selection of Rectors Confirmed, If Only Formally, by a Higher Authority, E.G
    Election Procedures of Higher Education Institution Rectors / Executive Heads In the words of EUA “autonomy is a success factor for European Universities”, facing new challenges in an increasingly complex and global environment. There are several aspects of university autonomy and governance, i.e financial, organizational, staffing and academic autonomy. Numerous EUA studies found that in Europe institutional autonomy varies greatly and legal settings and even definitions differ drastically across countries. Thus the relationship between state and university can take several forms; there is no one ideal model. Key findings included that while in general there is a trend towards greater autonomy, this is mostly found in administrative and academic areas, but legal frameworks are often restrictive towards governance structures and university leadership. Higher education institutions in most countries vote on the executive head’s1 appointment with a large group/electoral body or via the Senate and/or Council. Only in some, their selection of the Rector may also have to be Final Decision on Selection of Rectors confirmed, if only formally, by a higher authority, e.g. the Ministry of Eu 27 + Turkey Education at national or state level or in some cases the President. Those procedures are formal as in most cases the higher authority has Senate or Senate Senate w. w. Confirmation confirmation Council little veto power, or if it does, it does not make use of it frequently. Council w. Senate & confirmation Council/Board As pictured in the Graph, this mostly formal confirmation by a higher authority (in light reds) is not common in most countries. About two thirds of Universities can select the Rectors without confirmation and Senate Council/Board with little or no selection procedures prescribed by law (blue tones).
