UCT commission into student admissions
12 June 2012
With UCT's admissions policy the subject of much debate, both within the university and in the media, the UCT Council recently established the Commission into UCT Students Admissions, its goal to broaden engagement with the policy review by Council members and the public. Read more…
The commission is being chaired UCT Council member Judge Craig Howie and will consider material garnered by the university's admissions policy review task team, as well as the views of the public and sectors inside and outside the university.
Vice-chancellor Dr Max Price invited staff and students to make written submissions to the commission, to address matters of policy and principle and to offer any ideas for improving UCT's admissions policy. The deadline for submissions was 9 March.
After considering the written submissions, the commission invited respondents to make oral representations at hearings that took place from 15 to 17 May.
The commission aims to have its report to the UCT Council completed by October 2012.
