University Governance: The Role of Students and Academic Staff Associations: A Case Study of the Methodist University

Abstract

This paper aims at the sensitization of University Administrators on the need to form internal partnership by means of linking together all key stakeholders such as Students and Academic Staff Associations.  The paper seeks to discuss the participative role of core and/or key Stakeholders such as students and academic staff members in policy and strategy formulation, decision making, and the management of HIV and AIDS. The management of the HIV and AIDS pandemic in universities and other tertiary institutions is not being given the necessary attention. The study therefore aims at exploring the role that can be played by internal stakeholders such as students and academic staff in the management of HIV and AIDS.
