The Chronicle: Faculty Strike Shuts Down 5 of Kenya’s 6 Public Universities
Five of Kenya’s six public universities have been closed indefinitely and their students sent away as a strike by professors and lecturers over a salary dispute enters its second week.
Teaching for about 80,000 students ground to a halt on October 23, when the strike began. The professors, who are represented by the Universities Academic Staff Union, are demanding a 600-percent pay increase, and have rejected government offers of increases of from 9 percent to 25 percent.
