Disruption of academic activities occurred on the Bloemfontein, South, and Qwaqwa campuses of the University of the Free State (UFS) on 1 and 2 August 2023.
The university management is aware that the protest action has impacted our students’ academic programme, as well as academic and support service activities on the campuses.
Here is a message to staff and students from Prof Francis Petersen, Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the UFS, about the events of the past two days: https://vimeo.com/kovsies/fromthevc
Protest by contract workers on the Bloemfontein Campus
2016-02-18
State of our campuses #3
A group of mostly contract workers protested on the Bloemfontein Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS) this morning demanding to be insourced. The protest took place in an orderly way and no disruptions occurred on the campus. Members of the South African Police Service and the university’s Protection Service were present at all times. The protest took place without prior arrangement with the university management and despite the ongoing, structured negotiations forum on outsourcing/insourcing.
