Universities must fundamentally transform their governance models and embrace strategic leadership if they are to remain globally competitive, financially sustainable and relevant in an era of artificial intelligence, shrinking public funding and rising accountability demands.
Speaking during a high-level international conference on university leadership and governance, Mount Kenya University (MKU) Pro-Chancellor Dr. Vincent Gaitho said universities can no longer rely solely on academic excellence but must strengthen governance and leadership if they are to thrive in an increasingly competitive global education environment.
"Institutional success is no longer determined solely by academic excellence. It is increasingly determined by the quality of governance and leadership," Dr. Gaitho said.
