Managing Academic Culture in Nigerian Public Universities: Save the Bridge from Collapsing
This paper explored managing academic
culture in Nigerian public universities. University is the ivory tower of
educational system established with specific norms, custom and tradition for
attainment of academic excellence. Culture is a way of life that involve
orientation, norms, custom, convention, tradition, language, mode of dressing
of people in their environment. Managing university culture is synonymous with
planning, organising, controlling, maintaining and monitoring academic custom,
values and tradition established by university management toward achieving
vision and mission of the organisation. Culture is the bridge that hold
university system. Academic culture consists of academic ethics, norms, values
and discipline required for attainment of academic excellence in teaching,
research and community service. Therefore, he who call for academic excellence,
call for academic culture. The academic
staff play a pivotal role in achieving the goals of a university. Today, cultural value of public
universities in Nigeria is dwindling and seems to collapsed the bridge system
of university due to some moral delinquency like bullying, sexual harassment,
examination malpractice, indecent dressing and indiscipline orchestrated by
lecturers and students in the university campus. Therefore, the
study concluded that management of academic culture help to sustain the quality
of teaching, research and community service in public university. More so, it
is recommended amongst others that university management should
periodically organised seminars, orientation, conferences and training programmed on academic culture for all lecturers’ in Nigerian public
universities.
