A decision regarding the possible covering of the MT Steyn statue in front of the Main Building on the Bloemfontein Campus has not been taken yet.
The opportunity for stakeholders to submit oral and written submissions on whether they agree or disagree with the covering of the MT Steyn statue in front of the Main Building on the Bloemfontein Campus until the formal review process on the position of the statue has been concluded, ended on Wednesday 11 April 2018, with 71 written and three oral submissions received by the special task team.
The submissions will be included in a submission to the Free State Provincial Heritage Resources Authority (FSHRA) in order to obtain a permit for the possible covering of the statue. An independent analysis of the submissions is currently underway.
The special task team would like to thank those who submitted oral and written submissions. The university community will be updated on the outcome of the decision by the FDHRA regarding the possible covering of the statue, as well as the results of the independent analysis.

New Community Service policy for UFS
2006-10-12
After an inclusive consultation process conducted since 2005 with a wide variety of partners, staff and other experts, the Council of the University of the Free State (UFS) approved a new community service policy. The new policy will contribute to strengthen the already competitive national position of the UFS as far as community service learning and research is concerned. It will also clearly and academically articulate the stated aspiration of the UFS to become a truly engaged university.
The technical team responsible for the compilation of the new police are, from the left: Dr Mabel Erasmus (Senior Lecturer: Community Service Development and Implementation), Rev Kiepie Jaftha (Chief Director: Community Service) and Mr Willem Ellis (independent consultant).
