Abstract	... "Although a new institution, the University of Namibia is facing the same problems of curriculum, funding, and access which hinder academic effectiveness elsewhere. ... The authors conducted in-depth and confidential interviews with national and university decision-makers. Based on these discussions and previous research, the authors outline a process for facilitating the government and academic leadership so crucial to evolving a responsive university." The challenges facing the Namibian university are identified as: -overcoming the legacy of Apartheid; -cooperating in national development; -supporting national/ ethnic culture; -fostering effective relations between university and government; -achieving intellectual independence; -providing appropriate education for careers; -enhancing student performance; -addressing funding issues.
