Kovsies host first<br />
HEDSA symposium<br />
As an institution that prides itself on innovation and<br />
equity, it is no wonder that our university was <strong>the</strong> host<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first ever general meeting for <strong>the</strong> Higher Education<br />
Disability Services Association (HEDSA).<br />
This newly constituted body represents <strong>the</strong> Disability<br />
Units from <strong>the</strong> various universities across South Africa.<br />
By creating a forum for an open debate, HEDSA<br />
hopes to find solutions <strong>the</strong> problems faced by students<br />
with disabilities.<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>. Niel Viljoen, our Vice-Rector: Operations also spoke<br />
on this issue. He spoke <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> project our university started<br />
to ensure wheel chair accessibility to all buildings. After an<br />
extensive survey, our university has decided to spend R2<br />
million a year for five years to achieve this goal. The project<br />
will be completed by 2014.<br />
Hetsie Veitch, Chief Officer <strong>of</strong> our Unit for Students<br />
with Disabilities (USD), coordinated <strong>the</strong> event with<br />
HEDSA: “I am really excited that <strong>the</strong> first ever HEDSA<br />
symposium was held at our university. It also places our<br />
university at <strong>the</strong> forefront <strong>of</strong> matters regarding disabilities.”<br />
