Abstract
This chapter might have been titled the “African academy” since the issues I speak about could very well apply to schools, colleges, and universities in Africa. Let me stick with the university, though it is important for the reader to work with the interplay of the schools, colleges, and universities in thinking about what the academy actually is.
