Stellenbosch University's (SU) Human Resources Committee of the Council recently took the following decisions regarding the job titles of two Vice-Rectors.
The title of the Vice-Rector: Community Interaction and Personnel will be changed with immediate effect to Vice-Rector: Transformation, Social Impact and Personnel.
Recently, the Division for Community Interaction's name was changed to the Division for Social Impact. Because transformation is such an important issue for SU, it has been included at top management level and made a salient part of this responsibility centre.
Prof Nico Koopman is currently the acting Vice-Rector in this position.
The title of Vice-Rector: Research and Innovation has also changed to Vice-Rector: Research, Innovation and Postgraduate Studies with immediate effect.
The additional part of the title is already part of this responsibility centre, but by including it in the title in this way, SU emphasises that research by postgraduate students is an integral component of research at SU.
Prof Eugene Cloete is currently the Vice-Rector in this position.
- Read more about these changes next month in the October issue of Kampusnuus.
