UCT correspondence around #FeesMustFall and #EndOutsourcing
Recent protest action on university campuses nationwide has drawn attention to critical issues affecting the higher education arena, and the country more broadly. What started in early 2015 at UCT with calls for the removal of the Rhodes statue has grown to include calls to end rising student fees, outsourcing of workers, police brutality and patriarchal practices on campus. Below is UCT correspondence connected to the #FeesMustFall and #EndOutsourcing movements.
