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. As African
governments have adopted neoliberal education policies that place
premium on entrepreneurialism, profit making, privatization, and
markets as drivers of university development, a reshaping of the
academic work and organizational framework have taken place.
However, little is known about the impact of this paradigm shift on
access, quality and governance in higher education. This book fills
the void in research and academic knowledge about the impact of the
emerging university configurations in Africa. It analyzes the
paradox surrounding the performance of multicampus university
systems as avenues of broadening university access but whose
structural success may be qualitatively contested. 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 collected during extensive fieldwork
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, and will be
a welcome contribution to the existing repertoire on African
universities.
