The lessons University students are at the peak of their academic career. Any disruption of their studies constitutes a loss to society. No rational administration would participate in the destruction of the human resources it has helped to nurture. Hence progressive educational administrators take students’ concerns as challenges which require remedies. They consequently take the problem solving approach in dealing with the problems of students. Hence they engage student leaders in mature dialogue and utilise them as emissaries in bargaining for a common ground to solve problems. In most cases the problem solving approach would lead to mutual respect and better understanding between administrators and students. On the other hand, the self righteous approach lead administrators to conceive student leaders as trouble makers or ring leaders who need to be expelled and prosecuted for incitement. This often adds fuel on fire as students come to the defence of such leaders. This could lead to closure of Universities and loss of credit hours. It is an achievement of both students and administration that the problem is solved without any expulsion of students. ]]>
