“…The Royal College, which would become the University College of Nairobi and later the University of Nairobi (U of N) in 1970, was a source of national pride. It was charged with the critical task of educating Kenyans to fill the administrative vacuum created when English managers left their posts (Oanda, Chege & Wesonga, 2008;Wangenge-Ouma, 2008) and 'Africanising' government institutions (Willis & Gona, 2013). Once established as Kenya's first university, the institution quickly became the epicentre for political activity and government intervention (Chege, 2009).…”

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.

“…The pace and scope of these reforms has varied across countries (as reflected in differences in the pace of university expansion shown in Figure 1). Reforms started early in Uganda in the early 1990s; Ghana and Zambia followed in the late 1990s and Kenya introduced parallel programmes in public universities around 2000 (Darvas et al, 2017, p. 92;Marcucci et al, 2008;Masaiti & Shen, 2013;Oanda, 2013). In Tanzania and Malawi reforms proceeded more cautiously.…”

“…How are the academics utilizing the new spaces to promote the intellectual mission of the institutions and the academic development of their students? Studies have documented the emergence of various dichotomies of academics in the corporatizing universities (Oanda, Fatuma and Wesonga 2008).
