  • Gender Center and Gender Mainstreaming
    Gender Center and Gender Mainstreaming Educational level: University | Beneficiaries: Students, faculty, and staff Background Assessments of universities such as Jimma University1 and the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM)2 that found sexual harassment and violence and high attrition of female students played a role in developing gender centers.1 At the University of Western Cape, campus activism on issues including gender imbalances in salary and career development, sexual harassment, and maternity leave and child care contributed to the creation of a gender center.3 In other institutions, national and institutional commitment was key. For example, one of the objectives of the Presidential Working Party to establish Moi University was to develop a gender center, and the university’s 2005-2014 strategic plan committed to incorporating gender issues in policy decision-making processes.4 Makerere University also enjoyed a supportive national legislative environment in Uganda.5 Description Many institutions, including Jimma University, Moi University, UDSM, and Makerere University, note the role of the gender centers in promoting gender mainstreaming. The gender centers, offices, and committees at the institutions included in this review shared some common functions, including gender equality-related policy development, provision of training, skills-building, mentoring, counseling services, networking, information sharing, and research. Some institutions also provide scholarships to female students (Jimma University,6 Makerere University,5 University of Toronto7); facilitate housing for female faculty (Jimma University,6 University of Western Cape3); develop curricula on gender-related issues (the University of Ghana8); and develop proposals for “gender sensitive infrastructure within the University”9 (Sokoine University of Agriculture). The University of Toronto has multiple offices that work on diversity and equity issues.

  • 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).

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal). 2438. https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libphilprac/2438 AWARENESS AND ATTITUDE OF UNDERGRADUATES TOWARD SERIAL PUBLICATIONS IN KWARA STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Abstract This study examined the awareness and attitude of undergraduates toward Serial Publications in Kwara State University Library. Descriptive survey research method was adopted and questionnaire was administered to 360 undergraduates of Kwara State university to obtain the required data. The objectives of the study were to ascertain the level of awareness of serials publications, the rate of serial accessibility, attitude of student towards serial publications, constraints faced in the use of serials and types of serials used by student and its influence on their academic performance. The result revealed that journals and newspapers are the mostly patronized types of serials by undergraduate students. More than half of the undergraduates have access to serial like journals, newspapers and government publications. Also fair size of the respondents attested that serial publications have positive impact on their academic performance to some extent. The study also revealed that the respondents have negative attitude toward serial publication in the library. The major constraint associated with the use of serial publications was inadequate infrastructure for accessing serials electronically and many of the serials are not well displayed in the library.

  • Determinants of E-Services Use in Higher Education: a Case of a Kenyan University Academic and Non Academic Staff
    International Journal of Education and Research Vol. 2 No. 5 May 2014 Determinants of E-Services Use in Higher Education: A case of a Kenyan University Academic and Non Academic Staff Corresponding Author Edna J. M., University of Nairobi Email: [email protected] Gikandi J.W., Mt. Kenya University Email: [email protected] Solomon K. N., Moi University Email:[email protected] Key words: e-service, academic staff, non academic staff, constraints ABSTRACT The establishment of electronic services (e-services) has been an important policy goal in many universities worldwide. This notwithstanding, staff access to e-services and its reliability still remains an issue of concern that can hinder use of these services. The use of e-services in operational processes of teaching and administration can support staff to improve their work performance and promote competitive advantage for the university. However, many factors determine the use of e-services for staff in their day-to-day operations. This study is focused on towards academic and non academic staff of the University of Nairobi, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences (CAVS). Specifically, the aim was to identify the factors that determine e- services use. An empirical study was carried out whereby data was collected through a survey questionnaire administered face to face with a total of 100 academic and non academic staff users of e-services. The results were obtained from econometric modelling that is Logit regression. The evidence from staff in CAVS gave a set of factors that included staff characteristics and organizational constraining factors of e-services.
