Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Stellenbosch University conceded that there is a need to relook the culture of its residences across the campus.<\/p>\n

This after a report into alleged racism at the institution was released this week.<\/p>\n

The 184-page report by Sisi Khampepe, a retired Constitutional Court judge, made several findings regarding the culture at residences.<\/p>\n

Professor Deresh Ramjugernath, the university’s deputy vice-chancellor for learning and teaching, said there was a need to relook the culture in its residences.<\/p>\n

“The division for student affairs initiated a process last year with regards to the entire student life, especially student life within the residency space. This is part of a series of task teams that was put together to look at all the aspects of student life on our campuses,” he said.<\/p>\n

Ramjugernath said new regulations had been formed for residence heads.<\/p>\n

“The residence rules have been revised extensively as a result of that. There are regulations that have been developed with regards to the appointment of residence heads and the responsibility of residence heads,” he stressed.<\/p>\n

Khampepe said students’ experiences indicated that despite progress and reform being achieved in some residences, a toxic and exclusionary culture still existed in many residences and communities.<\/p>\n

“There is a perception among black students that this culture favours Afrikaans preferences and fails to cater to diversity.<\/p>\n

“This results in racial segregation in residences. In addition, black students also experience subtle and underhanded racism and exclusionary acts both in community and faculty environments,” the report reads.<\/p>\n

Khampepe’s inquiry into racism was established after former student Theuns du Toit was filmed urinating on first-year student Babalo Ndwayana’s desk and belongings at their Huis Marais residence back in May.<\/p>\n

Du Toit was later found guilty of contravening the university’s rules and expelled.<\/p>\n

The university on Wednesday briefed the media following the release of the report.<\/p>\n

Regarding Huis Marais, Khampepe recommended that the residence be converted into a mixed-gender residence.<\/p>\n

She also stressed in her report that there was a pervasive drinking culture and alcohol abuse problem at the university, which had exacerbated the problems in residences.<\/p>\n
