Nukuu 1:
As the first University in Tanzania, UDSM played a crucial role in shaping the country in its early stages of formation. ......... Difficult questions about our country were asked, and solutions were developed there.
Nukuu 2:
While the position of UDSM was apparent in the past, it is now stuck between its past glory and its inability to grow and adapt positively.
Nukuu 3:
In time, it has evolved into an institution that discourages thinking and imagination. ................
Doctors and professors, without any meaningful contribution to the body of knowledge and society.
Nukuu 4:
The confidence of our academicians is also very shaky; you can sense it when they debate issues, especially before peers from other countries. Most have been exposed to mediocrity for so long that they have forgotten when they had the passion for seeking and finding knowledge.
Nukuu 5:
Talking to some personnel there, you can sense fear of doing or thinking something that will put them at loggerheads with the administration.
Nukuu 6:
Strangely, experts from the University would also hardly respond to a journalist’s question regarding a story on critical national issues. When they accept the interview, most answer journalists’ questions as if they were in an interview for a government appointment!
Nukuu 7:
Opportunities and resources are already available in projects like Higher Education for Economic Transformation Project (HEET), availed through a World Bank loan. But the question is, will the money go to revamping the University, or will all of it be spent on one seminar after the next, per diem and allowances?
