The Commission for Higher Education (CHE) has announced that Newport International University (NIU) has no authority to award degrees in Kenya. Over two hundred degrees awarded in Kenya by the American private varsity have been declared invalid by the Commission.
According to media reports, CHE has indicated that NIU failed to secure accreditation from the CHE or an American accreditation body, and had been previously warned to suspend its operations until it got accreditation. The government will not recognise programmes from Newport, and graduates will not be able to use their qualifications to apply for further studies.
