Abstract

The catalyst for the rapid growth of the multi-campus university system in Kenya include revenue enhancement, expansion of access and mitigating the equity challenge.  Despite these noble social goals, this model of university development has been discredited owing to quality, equity and restrictive programing concerns.  A reframing of the campus model towards regional-specific high-autonomy campuses could ameliorate these concerns.
