who had outstanding debts, and, as a result, the majority of students were allowed to register in 2016. The outsourcing plans would be discussed
at a later stage in 2016.
Transformation
The Ministerial Committee’s report on “Progress towards transformation and social cohesion and the elimination of discrimination in
public higher education institutions”, also known as the Soudien Report, was released in 2008. At the time, CUT had already developed
a Transformation Framework to address the matters raised in the White Paper 3. Therefore, in response to the Soudien Report, CUT made it
known that University adopted a Transformation Framework Vision in 2008, namely Year 2020: Vision of the transformation agenda. The
Transformation Framework provided a foundation to some ongoing developments within the University that were raised in the Soudien Report.
Transformation initiatives
In 2015, the University undertook a review process of its Transformation Framework, taking the Soudien Report into consideration. The University
decided to develop a Transformation Plan with objectives, performance indicators and targets linked to its revised Strategic Plan 2016–2020.
The plan is being consulted with the various stakeholders, and takes into consideration resolutions of the Transformation Summit held in October
2015.
“The mechanisms for holding institutions accountable for
transformation goals should be strengthened. Transformation
indicators should urgently be developed for the system to help
steer transformation goals to support effective implementation of
transformation imperatives.”
