MAKERERE University has started searching for a new vice-chancellor to replace Prof. Livingstone Luboobi, whose term of office ends on May 31.
The University Council has appointed a five-member committee, headed by Christine Kiganda, to search for a replacement.
Stephen Maloba, the head of the university’s appointment board and a former commissioner in the education ministry, is a member to the committee.
The committee is also to search for two deputy vice-chancellors to replace those whose contracts end in September.
The search process, which is to last for about two months, will be conducted following the guidelines on appointment of the university management approved recently.
The guidelines allow non-staff members to compete for the three top jobs and the vice-chancellor should not be over 60 years of age.
The committee will select candidates and forward them to the Senate to nominate three of them for recommendation to the council.
