Studies have examined the impact of political interference on 'instructional', 'constructive' and 'distributed' models of leadership. There is not enough evidence on whether the leadership of universities is now a political one, and/or its impacts; that is the subject of this investigation. Considering Bangladesh as a case study, this qualitative study discovered that the public university sector does not appear to follow 'instructional' and 'constructive' models, let alone 'distributed' leadership. Without recognising and utilising an established education leadership model, political leadership does in fact manage the university. This cultivates 'corruption' and 'nepotism' which interfere with real higher education. Innovation of a specialised model for university leadership is consequently particularly suited to emerging nations and well-timed.
