Makerere University has closed again. The decision has come from the President of Uganda with no indication as to when the university will reopen.
The current staff strike and student commotions at Makerere University are a tip of an iceberg. Staff and student activisms cannot be resolved by firefighting them with Police or other security forces. Fundamental causes of these strikes and the current governance problems must be studied, analysed and addressed to resolve current problems in our university system. Changes of vice chancellors will not resolve the problems. Neither will giving more funds to staff nor students.
