A university with a difference

On 8th of November 2012 was all joy and jubilation for the first year students who had camped at the student center to hear from then the chancellor professor Bethwell Allan Ogot of their university life in campus. Many had worked hard in high school with the aim of getting into the university; their dreams came true when they attained a minimum aggregate to enable them obtain slots in campus.

Professor Allan Ogot began by congratulating students for their efforts of making it to Moi University, he said Moi University is the only institution with a “difference” mmh as though   I had not heard him properly; the professor went on praising   this institution as the only place one can ever dream to be because of how they mentor students. Every student who was orientation left happily because of the promising words from the VC. But whoops! Day by day the environment started changing; students pursuing arts courses were often seen crowding at the lecture halls to the extent of others standing outside and listening to the lecturer who is not even audible. What a mess! One would ask, did the university know the capacities that these lecture halls are supposed to accommodate? Anyway notwithstanding that, students started witnessing power blackouts over a couple of days something that is now a common phenomenon.

As though this was not  enough the 4^th year students  of the school of arts have often been seen demonstrating because they have never gotten their transcripts  since they began their course in first year, furthermore  there is always  a norm of every group of students to  go  for the longest holiday possible before they are accommodated back in session.

The administration is well satisfied with the running of the university while the rights of the students are infringed, is this what they meant by branding it the university of a difference?
