Daily News reports that the fate of five University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) executives who were suspended for accusing vice-chancellor Dr Albert van Jaarsveld of racism has yet to be decided.
They were suspended early this year and were later cleared of misconduct. This was despite a report instituted by the university, and headed by advocate Dumisa Ntsebeza, which recommended that the executives be fired. Four of the executives were deputy vice-chancellors. They are now weighing their options after an offer by the university to pay them out. The total of such payments are believed to exceed R10-million, in addition to the more than R7-million they received while on suspension. In 2015, the executives together with two others, who have since left the university, signed a letter accusing Van Jaarsveld of preferring a white leadership structure, and flouting university policies.
