We will grow more of our own timber
To boost our employment-equity goals on senior academic
and research levels management looks at different ways to
achieve the numerical goals. More focus is to be placed on
the Grow Our Own Timber Programme (GOOT) and
mentoring. Two new projects for “growing our own timber”
for academic positions have been approved, as well as
a Workplace Learning Internship initiative for support services.
There is also a project in the pipeline for the development
of leadership among promising black academic
and support staff to equip them for senior and high-level
management positions.
GOOT help transformasie bevorder
Die GOOT-program vorm deel van die strategiese prioriteite
wat meehelp om die oorhoofse transformasieplan
aan die UV te bestuur. Dit is een van die inisiatiewe wat
reeds in 2001 ingestel is om gelykberegtiging van personeel
te bevorder.
Dit program behels twee beursprogramme – A.W.
Mellon en die Atlantic Philantrophies. Studente uit aan gewese
groepe, wat akademiese loopbane wil volg en oor
voldoende potensiaal beskik, het studiebeurse ontvang om
meesters- of Ph.D.-grade te behaal om hulle voor te berei
vir akademiese aanstellings en om die ouerwordende korps
aka demici in ’n nuwe bedeling te vervang. Genote is gekoppel
aan ervare studieleiers oor dissiplines heen.
Die huidige program loop aan die einde van 2008 ten
einde en daarom is die twee nuwe voorstelle deur bestuur
aanvaar om die voortbestaan van die insiatiewe te verseker.
Die eerste voorstel beoog om studente nasionaal te werf vir
die voltooiing van ’n meestersgraad oor ’n tweejaarperiode
waarna hulle aangestel word op die vlak van junior lektoraat
/ lektoraat. In die tweede sal huidige personeel bygestaan
word om hul meesters- of Ph.D.-grade te verwerf vir
aanstelling in meer senior posisies.
Die UV voorsien ’n inname van ongeveer 60 kandidate
in elk van die twee programme. Dit sal in drie groepe oor
’n periode van drie jaar plaasvind met 20 kandidate per
groep.
Vanweë die erns om gelykberegtiging rakende per soneel
te bereik, sal tien kandidate in elk van die programme
uit interne bronne befonds word totdat eksterne fondse
gegenereer kan word. Die eerste voorstel sal aan die begin
van 2008 ’n aanvang neem en die tweede in die tweede
semester van 2008.
Bursaries to promote programme
In the Mellon Programme two new bursaries were awarded
in 2007. Of the current intake, nine doctoral and thirteen
master’s degree students have completed their studies. Five
masters’ degree students left the programme on completion
of their degrees. Eight students are pursuing their Ph.Ds.
Of the group involved in their Ph.Ds two accepted
appointments outside the UFS. Fifteen fellows accepted
positions within the UFS. Two left the programme prior to
obtaining any qualification.
In the Mellon Programme Mr Kingdom Moshounyane
of the Department Drama and Theatre Arts received a
bursary to complete part of his doctoral studies in Norway.
In the Atlantic Philantrophies programme one new
fellow was awarded a bursary in 2007. Of the current intake
of Ph.D. students (Faculty of Law), one Ph.D. study was
completed in 2007, one submitted a thesis and another is
due to submit. All three were appointed in academic
positions. One student (Faculty of Health Sciences) will
complete a Ph.D. in 2008. One completed a master’s
degree, submitted in 2007 and is due to register for a Ph.D.
in 2008.
Vordering in sommige departemente
Sommige departemente in die Fakulteit Natuur wetenskappe
het reeds veel vermag ten opsigte van die transformasie
van hul personeelprofiel. Die Departement Antropo
logie het ’n 50:00-verdeling ten opsigte van diversiteit.
