The Commission for University Education has earmarked eight universities to be closed in Nairobi city centre in the next six months since they are not located in a conducive environment for learning.
Although the parent institutions of the campuses have not been closed, students enrolled will have to be enrolled in other approved campuses. Tuko.co.ke reports that the commission plans to close the universities because they do not have adequate infrastructure, lecturers and are also not located within a learning environment.
“The institutions listed do not have adequate physical, human, library and financial resources, viable relevant academic programmes and sound structure of governance,” the regulations of the commission by Prof David Some state.
The campuses are:
- St Paul’s University campus located along Moi Avenue, Church House.
- Egerton University campus in Stanbank House.
- Africa Nazarene University campuses in Agrho House and Stanbank House.
- South Eastern Kenya University campus in Development house.
- Dedan Kimathi University of Technology campuses in Union Towers and Biashara Plaza.
- Multi-Media University of Kenya campus located in City Square Post Office Building
- Masinde Muliro University campus on Kingsway Building
- Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology campus in Westlands
