Approved criteria and guidelines for the appointment and promotion of academic staff
(Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2021-10) Kyambogo University
During the last decade, Kyambogo University has significantly improved its infrastructure, and currently working hard to change its internal processes to make it a world class University. The University has reviewed its governance structure and increased its focus on research by devoting more funds to research and building research capacity of its staff. In improving its first focus area (Teaching and Learning), one area that has engaged the attention of Management is the recruitment and promotion of quality Academic Staff from the lowest position to Professor. “The quality of Academic staff is key to the quality of a University ...Universities are supposed to be centres of research, academic excellence, scholarship, knowledge generation and publications. Institutional auditors shall assess the quality of research and knowledge creation of a given Institution” (NCHE Quality Assurance Framework for Universities, 2014, p16-17).

Intellectual property policy
(Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2021-11) Kyambogo University
Kyambogo University is one of the nine public universities established to provide higher education in Uganda. The University was created as a merger of three former institutions of Institute of Teacher Education, Kyambogo (ITEK), Uganda Polytechnic, Kyambogo (UPK) and Uganda National Institute of Special Education (UNISE) by Act of parliament instrument No. 37 of 2003. The strategic direction of the university as embodied in its strategic plan 2020/21-2024/2025 is anchored on five (5) strategic focus areas namely, 1) teaching and learning, 2) research, innovations and knowledge production, 3) physical infrastructure, facilities and information and communication technology (ICT) development, 4) institutional development, and 5) strategic marketing. Therefore, in pursuit of its vision, the university is engaged in intellectual inquiry of creating both tangible and intangible assets geared to solving societal problems and bettering humanity in general. Intellectual Property (IP) is intangible assets arising from the outcome of human creativity, innovations, inventions, incubations and entrepreneurship. Exclusive rights are granted in respect of each IP in relation to certain defined categories of industrial, copyright, scientific and cultural creativity. Accordingly, Intellectual Property has become recognised as a consequence of international agreements, creating a more or less internationally harmonised legal regime that seeks to secure investment, technology transfer for innovation and the commercial exploitation of the products of innovations over a limited of time. Intellectual Property law therefore seeks to harmonise the competing interests of the creator’s ownership and control over the creations, innovations, inventions against the public’s rights to access and usage of such works. For example, a copyright specifically permits certain “fair use” of the materials without the need for permission from or payment to the creator. Indeed, the IP law provides profit incentives and ownership protections to the creators of intellectual property while ensuring that the control is not held so tightly to restrict access or prohibits the development of new works that may be inspired by these protected materials. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are crucial in modern businesses serving not only to make research and development attractive but of increasing significance as tradeable assets and security for investment. Unfortunately, the lack of institutional IP policy to harness the exploitation, protection, ownership and commercialisation of the products of research and translations of ideas/innovations into goods and services for which consumers can pay has been a serious challenge for most universities in the sub-Saharan African (SSA) including Kyambogo University. Therefore, to support universities in SSA to institutionalise the management of 2 | P a g e IPA, the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and Africa Regional Intellectual Property Organisation (ARIPO) has put in place infrastructure and guidelines to streamline the exploitation and commercialisation of IP generated by the staff, students and stakeholders at the university instead of only focusing on academic publications per se. One of such infrastructures is the Technology Information Support Centre (TISC) which allows the intending creators/inventors/innovators to search for information related to the IP of interest so that the exclusive rights granted is not contested for infringement and other forms of abuse such as non-disclosure, biopiracy and piracy among others either nationally, regionally or internationally. The rationale for intellectual property polic

Hon. Tayebwa Thomas, the Member of Parliament for Ruhinda North has advised members of the Kyambogo University Academic Staff Association (KYUASA) to dialogue embrace dialogue as a way of solving misunderstandings, discontent and presenting demands instead of strikes and anarchy. “You are the people killing your own university and tainting its image with endless strikes” He said. He wondered why people quarrel and fight over public matters yet in the near future they are going to be history. He further urged KYUASA leadership to wisely use their positions and speak for the university not against it. “As leaders of KYUASA, you are ambassadors of Kyambogo University and you are expected to paint a good picture of Kyambogo.
