The contents, which were never publicly denied, offered interesting yet disturbing insights on the governance of public universities in Kenya. At the height of university reforms designed to make decision making more transparent and governing structures more democratic, these reforms targeted university council’s appointments, the (s)elections of deans, the composition of senate and the appointments of heads/chairs of departments. As currently constituted, there is an extremely huge disconnect between university councils and the university community. University councils in Kenya and the manner in which they are constituted are heavily politicised. There is thus a need of change of university governance.
