Diversity targets in most residences reached, says UFS Rector
2008-02-01
The integration of student residences at the University of the Free State (UFS) is proceeding smoothly and the diversity targets in most of the formerly white residences, except one, have been reached.
This is according to the Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the UFS, Prof Frederick Fourie, who was speaking today during the official opening of the University.
However, he did acknowledge that the diversity target for white male students who should be living in formerly black male residences has been very difficult to attain.
“It is hoped that new initiatives will result in more success in this regard in 2009. Other elements of the approved residence diversity plan also create new opportunities for addressing this problem”, he said.
Prof Fourie also commended the Student Representative Council (SRC) and the student leadership of the UFS for assisting with the implementation of the new policy.
Last year the University Council set a target of achieving a minimum diversity level of 30% in all junior residences in 2008.
