Egerton lecturers pay row delays classes, graduation

What you need to know:

  • The lecturers however blame the cash crisis on inept management.
  • On Wednesday, an inter parties hearing between Egerton and Uasu at the Employment and Labour Relations Court failed to kick off after the university’s lawyers failed to turn up.

Learning at Egerton University remained paralysed for the second week running as lecturers and the institution’s management failed to agree on a return-to-work formula.

The stalemate at the financially troubled institution has dashed the hopes of about 2,000 students who were set to graduate in December. The November 2 examinations for Fourth Year students were also disrupted by the strike that started on November 4.
