Alioune Badara Kandji is the new rector of the UCAD. His appointment was made public by the communiqué of the Council of Ministers on Wednesday. He thus inherits the seat occupied as interim by Prof. Aminata Niang Diène after the departure of Prof. Ahmadou Aly Mbaye. Alioune Badara Kandji, a specialist in English literature, was the dean of the Faculty of Letters and Humanities for more than 4 years. It is therefore a man so far discreet who will now occupy the very prestigious but also problematic chair of rector of l’Ucad. A university known for its academic excellence but also its social tensions.
