Although research has been done on the quality of university education in Nigeria, little is known about the effects of the last 2 decades of serial labor strikes in the universities. The purpose of this study was to bridge this gap by examining the perceptions of university administrators, academic staff, and students on the effects of serial labor strikes on the quality of university education in Nigeria, given the fact that differing perceptions of strike impacts among stakeholder groups may shape the future direction of higher education policy outcomes. The theoretical framework of the study was based on Craig's model of industrial relations. The study employed cross-sectional and ex-post facto quantitative research design, using a university that was purposively sampled. One hundred fifty-four participants completed a self-constructed and administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and analyses of variance showed a significant mean difference in the perceptions of labor strikes among students and academic staff. However, no significant difference was found in the perceptions of academic staff and university administrators. The study indicated that serial labor strikes have strong and negative effects on students' perceptions of their learning and performance. Labor strikes were also perceived to decrease collaborative/trans-disciplinary research in Nigerian universities. The potential for positive social change is in the awareness created among educational administrators and policy makers about the consequences of labor strikes in the universities. This awareness will provide a framework for better understanding of industrial conflict management in Nigerian university system, and will ultimately improve employment prospects for university system graduates.
