Abstract
This study explores the question of how public universities seek to reduce their financial dependence on government fundig. Globally, the neo-liberal economic order, among other factors, has privileged the reduction of state funding of public higher education. Given the obvious instability conequent upon the (drastic) reducation of government funding, public universities have to re-gain stability by, inter alia, generating incomve from non-government sources, hence reducing their dependence on the fiscus. To address this evolving shift of resource dependence from public sources to non-government sources, this study examines how public universities in Kenya and South Africa (SA) have attempted to seek economic self-determination.
