The University of South Africa has placed a national student representative council member on precautionary suspension pending a disciplinary hearing into allegations of sexual harassment. “While the university does not, as a rule, discuss the merits of such cases in the public domain, it, however, always ensures that appropriate action is taken against anyone found guilty of a serious misconduct such as sexual harassment,” the university said in a statement on Friday.
“We also assure stakeholders that this matter received swift attention by relevant officials in the university immediately after it was reported. The university has also ensured that its interventions comply with relevant legislation and policy, are sensitive to the national and international efforts against gender-based violence, and aligned to the position of higher health on sexual harassment and gender discrimination,” said the university.
