Two culturally different colonial territories came together in 1961 to form Cameroon, making it a bicultural country. Since then, the issue is being challenged mainly in its theoretical aspects. This article provides empirical and supportive evidence of the challenge of living together in a bicultural society. There is no doubt that such materials are important in strengthening our understanding of the ongoing socio-political crisis in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon. Proceeding from the socio-historical perspective, the data gathered through documentary sources and participant-observer framework show an overwhelming Francophone-centered logic of appointments at the state-owned bilingual University of Yaoundé II. Consequently, it is strongly suggested that this issue should be addressed for the living together policies to make more sense.
