UCT’s chief operating officer, Dr Reno Morar, has assured staff members that their return to work on campus will be done in a controlled, principled way.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Teaching and Learning, Associate Professor Lis Lange says remote online learning was the only feasible alternative to salvage the academic year.

Research funding and a return to laboratories and studios were central to DVC Professor Sue Harrison’s message during the Vice-Chancellor’s online special assembly.

Final-year medical students, academically vulnerable students and those needing to access campus labs to complete their studies will be the first to return to campus.
