Challenges faced by Gulu University as an African university

Gulu University is facing great challenges as seen below;

1. Inadequate office space and learning equipment, especially Lecture rooms for students, this is normally experienced during exams period where both weekend and week day students combine together for the same paper.
2. There is inadequate furniture, especially seats for students; this sometimes makes students to stand while attending lectures and it normally gets worst during exams time where by many students folks the campus for the personal reading who need to have those seats and the students sitting for exams who also require those same seats.
3. Another point of note is the paucity of female staff. The data shows that females constitute only 16 percent of the total staff number.(http://gu.ac.ug/downloads/planning/GULU%20UNIVERSITY%20Annual%20Report%202011-2012.pdf)
4. Serious shortage of academic staff,
5. Lack of avenues for publications and staff lack motivation to publish
6. There were financial constraints therefore some activities could not take place.
