Constitutional law expert Pierre de Vos has expressed skepticism about Stellenbosch University's efforts to change the dormitory culture at the Virgenhof Men's Residence.
“I'm not saying universities don't think it's a terrible thing and don't want to change it, but I don't know if they have the courage to do it. There are powerful forces that can hurt people. If your university is going to take the drastic steps necessary to actually get involved, let them know. ”
Mr De Vos was one of the panellists who took part in a webinar hosted by News24 on Thursday, which left unabated admissions practices and clear mistreatment of students at the 120-year-old Wilgenhof mansion.
