How does one condone the despicable acts of violence and intimidation on campus, especially the assault on the elderly academic last week?
The university on the other hand said it was having to contend with a massive R1.7 billion debt and could not afford to make more concessions.
They placed the blame squarely on a small minority of individuals who persisted in making demands the university management could not meet. Point taken here too. But if vice-chancellor Professor Nana Poku believes a small minority of individuals were responsible for the mayhem, why did his management team not act more decisively to bring the culprits to book?As it turns out, it seems some common sense has prevailed and UKZN is going to make efforts to raise funds to assist students with payments as well as work with other contributors to raise funds to pay their historical debt.
A university is not an island that functions in isolation. It is an integral part of the community in which it exists. As people of this province, we have a right to ask: Why did you have to wait for millions of rand of damage to public property and institutional reputation to occur before you came to your senses?
