Scope

The Richards Bay Campus’s vocational programmes, academic and research activities have been strategically designed to support the needs and goals of the University. The Campus’s broader framework is informed by the following strategic goals:

• Provisioning of high quality academic and career-focused programmes, relevant and responsive to the needs of students and society.
• Research outputs appropriate to a comprehensive University.
• A positive image within Business/Industry, civil society, Higher Education Institutions and research organisations based on quality outputs, partnerships and marketing strategies.
• The effective and efficient utilisation of human, financial and physical resources.
• A caring environment underpinned by safety, good health and wellness.

The Campus intends on making a meaningful impact on society and industry through the expansion of its current offerings with particular focus and investment in programmes that will further develop the business sector of Richards Bay. A labour scope of the Richards Bay provides a picture of broad industry needs that are highly technical in nature. Due to the financial, infrastructural and human capacity, the Campus is unable to address all technical needs identified and associated with the industry in the short-medium term. However, based on the current capacity and available resources the short-medium term plan, in partnership with relevant stakeholders, will focus on:

• The dedicated focus in the provision of academic Maritime programmes.
• Offering programmes within the higher education band that are aligned with the FET sector. This will ensure the progression of students who have exited the FET colleges into the higher education sector.
• An offering of short-term courses which are in line with local industry requirements.

CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES FOR STUDENTS TO RETURN TO THE UNIVERSITY

The University has a responsibility to maintain a safe and secure environment for all its staff and students.  The events of the 1^st March 2018 compelled Management to suspend academic activities and order an immediate evacuation of the campus. This was the best recourse under the circumstances to restore order, eliminate harm and maintain a safe and secure environment. As a further security measure, the University has deactivated the student cards of all students at the KwaDlangezwa Campus.

The University also recognises that not all students participated nor endorsed the conduct of the striking students. It is suspected that the criminal conduct was propagated by dissenting students, intent on causing irreparable harm to the University.

The University has suffered extensive physical and financial losses, but none more so than the potential loss of an academic semester, by innocent non-striking students. The University is committed to ensuring that the recent unfortunate events do not compromise the 2018 academic programme.

Management has therefore decided that at this juncture, it is in the best interest of students to uplift the suspension of academic activities and permit students to return to the campus and residences, subject to the following conditions:
