How university student strikes send administrators smiling to the bank

Battle: A protester uses a sling-shot against Kenyan riot police outside Nairobi University

Kenya: First assumption by most university students is that strikes are collective bargaining in the name of 'comrades’ power' that can save them from administration oppression. I strongly disagree.

Most student unrests in our universities arise as a result of petty issues that can be resolved easily; which is why ‘comrades’ must ask themselves some questions. Why the management is always reluctant to dealing with these concerns. For instance we recently went on rampage due to a few decisions which students deemed inappropriate enforced by the administration.
