The university is very grateful for this generous gift.

A scholarship for one student at Africa University covers tuition, housing, meals and medical care at a cost of $5,200. Support from donors can make such a difference in the lives of young African men and women.

The disparity between Africa University and its better-endowed North American counterparts points out how critical it is that we invest wisely and seek new potential donors to build up our endowment. For a relatively new institution, we've made a lot of progress, but there is still much to be done.

Roles of the various university constituent groups are either ill- or undefined, the By-Laws of the Board of Trustees are replete with implied invitations to conflict and micro-management, and the Presidency is effectively compromised. In such circumstances, a kind of anarchy invariably becomes the order of the day.
