An Elite South African University Seeks To Make Itself More "African."

Vergnani, Linda

Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n12 pA42-A44 Nov 13 1998

The administration of the University of the Witwatersrand (South Africa) is committed to increasing the number of black faculty and providing support to reduce their isolation. This year, for the first time, blacks make up 51% of the student population. The new president, a white man, appears to have won strong, broad-based support within the institution. (MSE)
