IX. Conclusion
The main problem of St. George University is the moonlighting of some faculty
members. This may be due to the fact that the salary rate are uncompetitive. Thus, absence
of highly competent professors followed by lack of leadership of top and middle
administration together with low morale teachers and students. And finally obsolete
facilities of the universities. These issues are might be the reasons why students are
transferring to other school and a reason for a slow consistent decrease of enrolment.
X. Recommendation
Currently, St. George University should focus on increasing the salary of its faculty
members. Formation of assessment team may be the first move of the university in order to
increase the salary rates. Review of salary rates is also one of the actions taken together with
the implementation of such increase in salary, and a periodic evaluation to know the
effectiveness of the chosen action. The university should also focus on innovating its
facilities in order to compete with other universities, and strategize in hiring professors and
conduct team buildings to increase the morale of teachers and students.
