Wits agrees to mediation with students
Wits University management and the SRC agree to a mediation process following recent protests over historical debt and accommodation issues.
JOHANNESBURG - Wits University management has reached an agreement with its SRC on a way forward.
The campus descended into chaos last week when students protested against financial exclusions and a lack of student accommodation.
On Monday the university announced that following engagements with students, they have agreed to a proposal for a mediation process between parties.
They have committed to engaging a professional mediator for this process, and the university will work with the SRC to arrange appropriate terms.
Management says all university activities will proceed as planned.
