dc.description.abstractThe critical role of universities in contributing to societal transformation in the modern knowledge economy has been underscored, but support by universities towards this cause seems underreported. This study investigated institutional support by non-academic units towards community transformation in Gulu University, northern Uganda. The objective was to explore how non-academic units support activities for community transformation in Gulu University. A qualitative exploratory case study based on the relativist ontology and constructivist epistemology was conducted. Senior faculty and top management constituted the sample. Data were collected using in-depth interviews from fifteen participants in the hard and soft applied disciplines and analysed thematically. Findings reveal that support for community transformation activities are two main folds: managerial and logistical,however they are routine and non-distinctive in outlook. We conclude that, non-academic units support community transformation activities in a weak and co-incidental mode. We recommend deliberate support for community transformation activities with designated structures in a university which declares a community oriented stance.
