The University of Zimbabwe (UZ) has begun its search for a
substantive Vice Chancellor to replace Professor Levi Nyagura, who left the
institution amid allegations of abuse of office.
Prof Nyagura faced allegations of facilitating the
unprocedural conferment of a Doctor of Philosophy degree on former First Lady
Mrs Grace Mugabe.
Prof Paul Mapfumo is the Acting Vice Chancellor.
UZ has since advertised the post in the media. “The
ViceChancellor leadership role entails being able to provide visionary and
strategic leadership to the university, including maintaining and promoting
research, innovation and industrialisation as well as ensuring efficiency and
good governance in the conduct of business of the institution,” read the advert
from the university.
“Negotiate strategic linkages with local and international
institutions regarding instructional resources and the use of information and
communication technologies for key academic and administrative activities of
the University.”
The new Vice Chancellor is expected to foster strategic
partnerships and harmonious working relationships between and among various
university stakeholders, staff, students, public and private organisations.
