Multicampus University Systems

Africa and the Kenyan Experience

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In the face of increasing social demand and cutbacks in state budgetary support, universities in African countries are now turning towards a multicampus system strategy. This book offers a refreshing examination of the African multicampus university system from both an African and global perspective. It makes use of empirical data from Kenya, along with substantive library and documentary resources on the rest of the continents, to fortify arguments and demonstrate important conclusions. This allows for a comparative analysis of policies and strategies used in the establishment of campuses, both within and beyond national boundaries in the continent.
