CUE is the successor to the Commission for Higher Education (CHE) which used to regulate private universities. CUE on the other hand regulates higher education in all public and private universities.

The Universities Act, 2012 places all universities under the Act and repealed the previous Acts that had established individual public universities. UoN was established under the University of Nairobi Act Cap 210 of the Laws of Kenya.

According to the Universities Act, all public universities are supposed to satisfy certain conditions set by CUE before they can be recommended for the award of the Charter by the President later this month. The Commission is charged with promotion of university education in the country, accreditation, regulation, monitoring and evaluation; develop policy and criteria for admission to universities among other functions. All chancellors of public universities will be appointed through consultation with the respective senates and the alumni.

Prof. Tolly Mbwette, the Vice-Chancellor, Open University of Tanzania is leading other experts contracted by CUE in assessing UoN.
