Background
Overview
Effective governance of higher education is fundamental to producing skilled human capital, fostering research and innovation, and ensuring social equity. Poor governance leads to systemic failures, student unrest, and hinders national development goals.
The real question is why students are so upset with the governance model of universities that, at times, they not only lose hope but also cross the boundaries of decency and satire. To suggest that this happened simply because of an oral remark by the CJI, which was quickly clarified, is to oversimplify the deeper governance crisis in higher education.
