Presentations by the top 3 candidates: CUT Vice-Chancellor and Principal

Tuesday, August 23, 2022

8:30 AM

Boet Troskie Hall



The topic of the presentation by the candidates is:

  • Recently, the South African Higher Education sector has been faced with a plethora of unprecedented dynamics, including:
  • the transition into university 4.0, and its effects on teaching and learning pedagogy;
  • the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath;
  • fiscal constraints premised on the bleak global economy and the inconsistent electricity supply (persistent load-shedding); and
  • the expectations of students regarding the promise of free education, juxtaposed against the fragile social compact evidenced by persistent protests.
  • Should you be appointed as Vice-Chancellor and Principal of CUT, how would you harness innovation and sustainability associated with the above four aspects through teaching, learning, research and engagement to lead CUT towards the attainment of its Vision 2030 and beyond?

Please support Council’s recruitment process for a new Vice-Chancellor and Principal by attending.
