The Electoral Commission of the university has set 29 February as the date for the guild elections.
The presidential election, according to the EC, will be held together with the parliamentary election, as has been the case in the past.

Only 23.4% of students in universities across Uganda and Kenya know about the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the deadline for their achievement, a report released on 24 January by Save the Mothers and the UCU Devolvement Studies department, has revealed.

"We have not had a lecture in administrative law since the semester begun," said Rogers Kamulegeya, the class representative for SWASA III during a meeting between guild officials and the Vice Chancellor Dr. John Senyonyi.

Going to Bukoto recently, I was talking to Hassan from the back of a boda-boda. It was a Friday and I asked him what the imam had to say that morning.
“He talked about an honest day’s work to get your pay and have no problems,” said Hassan.
Hassan told me that he knew about UCU – he called it “a good place” – and when we parted we exchanged smiles and I gave him a few extra shillings.
It was a small reminder that Muslim – Christian dialogue in Uganda should be as natural as talking to one’s neighbours. Then again, Uganda’s minority Muslims are just that: our neighbours.
We already realize this. VC John Senyoni has publicly expressed his heart on the matter on several occasions. The university’s Theology department is getting more focused on Muslim outreach. UCU’s Global South Institute recently organized an open event at Nkoyoyo Hall that looked at Muslim issues.

  Every year UCU increases tuition fees by a given percentage. Originally 10% it is now 13%.   
   That may be said to be a necessary development, given the unpredictable rate of inflation in the country. However, the question that keeps lingering in some of our minds is whether the students are getting what they are paying for.
