Presentation to University Council On 13th December 2010
Lessons Learnt from performance of College of Health Sciences: Lessons Learnt from CHAS • The interrelated departments which merged into Schools have been able to effect Joint, Participatory, Strategic planning (10 year Strategic Plan supported by Norwegian government). • There has been intensive cross-curriculum development due to the synergies generated by the mergers. • Up to date modes of delivery, like Problem Based Learning, COBES, and Tele-Education have been introduced due to increased team approach to teaching and learning. • Weaknesses Observed: • The anticipated cost savings and efficiency did not materialise as more units and positions were created (Deputy Deans, Support Staff for 10 offices and 2 more Accountants). The initial budget for FY 2009/10 submitted by the College was UGX 19 billion up from UGX 8 billion in FY 2008/09. • Staff deployed to the College assumed higher status in accordance to the provision of the Makerere University College Statute e.g. The Human Resource Manager at M4 (equivalent to the Salary Scale of Associate Professor - imbalance).
Lessons Learnt (Cont…) These lessons have been taken into consideration for streamlining, rationalising and right sizing the New Colleges Format which is bringing together related fields of teaching and re-branding the research, innovations and the KTP functions of the university.

Academic Staff • Non Academic Staff financial implication 9th December.xls
DRAGT • Graduate Functions to be devolved to college-level • Residual Function • Structure • Cost Implications
Graduate Functions to be devolved / decentralized to college-level • Day-to-day administration of the postgraduate training • Review the regulations governing Graduate academic programmes and make recommendations to senate. • Review procedure of students’ registration, transfer of credit units to another study programme; and withdrawing and recommend to senate. • Collect and submit biannual reports to Senate as regards to postgraduate training • Verification of student graduation requirements • Channel of communication between the University and students on graduate training • Identify and recommend supervisors to student research projects. • Review policy guidelines on joint awards/partnership • Coordination of student support services (Induction/orientation, Guidance and counselling, council of graduate students)
Residual Function of the Graduate Programs Unit • Harmonize all application and admission requirements • Liaise with Colleges/Schools in the management of graduate academic programs. • Develop guidelines and regulations on examination management. • Facilitate Colleges/Schools in the Process Internal/External Supervision. • Oversee the management of academic quality and research ethical issues. • Oversee the outreach and dissemination activities, providing a bridge between the University and public in identifying relevant research and courses to national development needs.
From the above • This Up dated establishment for Academic Staff can be presented for 50% increment proposed by Govt • Reduced admin staff at D/Dean, Dept levels leading to 45% reduction in admin costs. • To move towards paperless office of Chairs, Deans, Deputy Principal, Principal and Admin staff will inevitably require purchasing them Computers
