Our universities fail the academy: not greedy professors

I write this in response to Peter Wasamba’s article in a local daily on August 28, 2021. His views were well articulated, covering the ills of university promotions of lecturers in various academic ranks. What my learned friend did not explain are the roles of several university management cadres which operate at specific levels. The thrust of his argument hinged on greed, criteria, political inclinations and ignorance of university leadership.
