Gender commission takes ‘extremely dim view’ of UKZN VC’s no-show

University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) vice-chancellor Dr Albert van Jaarsveld came under fire at the Commission for Gender Equality on Thursday morning for failing to appear before it and instead sending someone on his behalf.The commission is hosting public hearings on gender transformation at institutions of higher learning‚ and Thursday’s sitting was to hear submissions from UKZN and the University of the Witwatersrand on their plans and challenges in this regard.
