Transformation and Diversity
The Transformation and Diversity Office serves to engage, intervene and advise students on all matters relating to transformation and diversity at the university.
The mandate of the office is premised on the White Paper 3 programme to transform higher education, Bill of RIghts, Constitution and other related documents. It serves also to connect the university with the rest of the community as it strives towards inclusivity.
