  • Profits and Pragmatism: the Commercial Lives of Market
    SGOXXX10.1177/2158244015612519SAGE OpenMunene 612519research-article2015 Article SAGE Open October-December 2015: 1 –14 Profits and Pragmatism: The © The Author(s) 2015 DOI: 10.1177/2158244015612519 Commercial Lives of Market sgo.sagepub.com Universities in Kenya and Uganda Ishmael Munene1 Abstract The increased commercialization of higher education is a theme that has attracted considerable global attention. In response to changes in traditional sources of funding, many universities, public and private, have opted to source revenue from the marketplace. This article delves into the complexities of the entry into the marketplace by Kenyan and Ugandan universities. The local and international impetus for this movement in both countries and not in Tanzania are discussed, the perverseness and limits of commercialization delineated, and the positive and negative consequences of commercialization chronicled, all within the shifting global paradigm of higher education development. The Kenyan and Ugandan context cautions that ensuring a healthy mix between entry into the marketplace and the retention of the core mission of universities remains a critical challenge for governments and university administrators.
