| Abstract: | The relationships of the federal university of East Africa - which linked university colleges in Kenya, Tanizania and Uganda from 1963 to 1970 - to the politics of federation in East Africa, has never been adequately defined; it has been meraly assumed that the federal University was in some way part and parcel of the wider movement. However, it will be argued here that the relationship was an intricate one, and that it is most easily understood if we analyse the words and deeds of Milton Obote at crucial moments in the history of East African higher education, for it was be who had to reconcile the Uganda government's well-known antipathy to the University with its public protestations favouring East African unity. Sections: Obote and the Lockwood Report - Obote, the University and the federations proposals of 1963 - Planning for a second triennium. the 1965 crisis - Obote gets his way. Notes. |
