????????????????????Komitee vir die Institusionele Reaksie op die (Khampepe-) Kommissie se Aanbevelings (CIRCoRe)
Stellenbosch 万博体育官网 (SU) is well on its way to rolling out the structures that will focus on the recommendations of the Khampepe Commission. In response to the Khampepe Report, the Stellenbosch 万博体育官网 Rectorate has established a structure that is aimed at developing implementable proposals, namely the Committee for the Institutional Response to the Commission's Recommendations (CIRCoRe).
A CIRCoRe Coordinating Office, headed by Prof Aslam Fataar, will keep the various dimensions of the process together, while the CIRCoRe as the central committee structure, headed by the Rector, with the Deputy-Vice Chancellor for Social Impact, Transformation and Personnel as secundus, will coordinate and monitor the Khampepe Institutional Response.
CIRCoRe's mandate
Against the backdrop of transformation as an institutional priority, CIRCoRE aims to develop urgent short-term proposals for immediate implementation. A medium and longer term implementation approach will also be pursued based on the complexity of organisational change and the need to embed such change within the operational culture of the institution. The recommendations of the response process will be fed directly to the Rectorate for consideration and implementation.
The CIRCoRe process is aimed at giving further momentum and impetus to SU's transformation agenda and should in no way be regarded as an add-on that disregards the existing transformational structures of the 万博体育官网. Our approach is that it will seek to enhance the work of said structures and a coordinated and phased implementation approach will be followed. CIRCoRe will also frequently report to the Rectorate, Senate, Council and Institutional Forum.?
Joint Leadership Structu?re
- Project owner: Prof Wim de Villiers, Rector
- Project leader: Prof Nico Koopman, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Social Impact, Transformation and Personnel
- Project co-ordinator: Mr Mohamed Shaikh, Executive Manager: Rectorate.
Prof André Keet, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Engagement and Transformation at Nelson Mandela 万博体育官网, is serving as expert external adviser to CIRCoRe.
The CIRCoRe Advisory Committee will appropriately guide and inform CIRCoRe activities.?
Workstreams
The Khampepe Report's findings and recommendations are divided into five workstreams. Seventy-five 万博体育官网 members have accepted an invitation by the Rectorate to serve on the respective workstreams. Membership is based on stakeholder and student representation, diversity, and requisite academic and higher education development expertise.?????
?The first workstream concentrates on
Student Life/Communities. Headed by Prof Ronelle Carolissen, this workstream will concentrate on the entire spectrum of student life. It will develop proposals to align the practices of all 万博体育官网 environments responsible for facilitating an inclusive student experience at the 万博体育官网.

?The second workstream focuses on the
recommendation to introduce a compulsory core curriculum offering. This workstream will concentrate on intentionally teaching all our students the Constitutional values of human rights, non-racialism, dignity and respect. This workstream is headed by Dr Sharman Wickham.
?The third workstream, headed by Prof Kopano Ratele, focuses on aligning the 万博体育官网’s institutional culture with a democratic human rights ethos. This workstream will focus on the interaction between the complex transformation infrastructure, including the legal, policy and regulatory dimensions, and the softer aspects of the institution's functioning.
