Abstract

Universities are higher institutions where a high level of manpower training is provided for the development of the total man. At the centre of this is the role of academic members. The three core functions of the academic staff are teaching, research, and service. Over the years, there have been cases of abuse of academics in Nigerian universities, which has been a source of concern to relevant stakeholders. Abuse of Academics is any form of unethical treatment given to university academics in the course of discharging their duties. The study argues that the abuse of academic staff indicates failed ethical leadership. Drawing on the social harms theory, it provides evidence of the hazardous use of power against academics. In this case study of Obafemi Awolowo University, thirty academic staff across all cadres and genders were interviewed. The findings reveal that academic abuse has been an age-long problem in Nigerian universities. The study further shows the causes of academic abuse to be rooted in the fact that the government does not prioritise education, which makes its budgetary allocation to the sector very ridiculous.

Abstract

The learning process at any level of education is expected to be smooth, stable and sustainable. This largely determines the effectiveness and quality of such a learning process. This study investigated the influence of incessant closure on the quality of learning in Nigerian universities. This study was hinged on the Behaviourist Theory of Learning which was considered most suitable. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria was purposively selected because the university has one of the highest incidences of disruption of academic activities in the country. Six faculties were selected out of the existing thirteen faculties while 360 students (60 from each faculty) were selected for the study. A self-designed and validated questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The data collected were analysed using inferential statistics. The findings of this study showed that unresolved industrial disputes and students’ protest are the main causes of the frequent closure of universities which over the years have had negative influence on the quality of learning in Nigeria Universities. The study recommended the need for improved funding of the education sector, especially higher education which is critical for the development of any nation.
