Acting Vice Chancellor accused of falsifying academic profile
"allAfrica", Zimbabwe on 12th February 2012 : Makerere University acting Vice Chancellor Venansius Baryamureeba has been accused of falsifying his academic profile and submitting plagiarised work to get accelerated promotion to full Professor. Prof. Eli Rwakishaya-Katunguka, the director for Graduate Studies, wrote to the University Council chairman Wana-Etyem on January 31, asking that Baryamureeba be stripped of the honoured academic title of Professor. "I wish to submit that an investigation be carried out to find out how Dr Baryamureeba got promoted to Associate Professor and later to full Professor in the face of all glaring malpractices shrouded in lies and trickery," he wrote. It is alleged that the former Dean of the Faculty of Computing and Information Science never supervised 15 of the 28 graduate students he claimed to have supervised because there is no record to show he was officially assigned.
