Mail & Guardian reports that, while several universities experience growing campus unrest over demands for free higher education, senior administrators at Unisa are donating half of their bonuses to assist students in need.
Unisa’s vice-chancellor, Professor Mandla Makhanya, as well as his registrar, seven vice-principals and five executive and deputy executive deans will contribute a total of R10-million towards the institution’s bursary fund. The money will be used to top up the university’s existing contribution of R74.1-million that funded 4,555 undergraduate and postgraduate students this year.
