"Make sure the university survives beyond the promoters and financiers," Tayebwa, urging the new university council chairperson to tap into the experience of his members to move the university forward.
"You need to review the courses and the curriculum properly and also look at staff to student ratio and the teaching load of the lecturers," he said, noting that all the changes should be deliberate.
King Ceasor Augustus Mulenga, the University chancellor, said KCU which hosts faculty and students from 32 nationalities including some from Asia and Europe, is putting in place a competent management team that has transformative power to follow through on regulatory requirements, inclusive, equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all.
"At KCU as already mentioned we have cosmopolitan faculty, students, parents, partners, donors and governments that have been supportive of our mission. All of us are invited to support, give guidance and encouragement to join hands to make King Ceasor University successful," King Ceasor said.
In the first quarter of this year, he said the university seeks to acquire charter status and create a digital society across the University Community.
