2015 Annual Report

The #FeesMustFall campaign coupled with external factors such as the rand’s weak performance, lukewarm investor confidence in South Africa during the last few months of 2015 and pressure on the salary bill have had a substantial negative impact on the financial performance of the University.
One of the issues that occupy us as council is this question: How do we measure our efficiency and effectiveness in relation to what we have set ourselves
to achieve? The #FeesMustFall crisis was also an incentive to relook at what matters most for our university to function. This Annual Financial Report is intended to provide a window into our operations. Let us look at the key strategic areas as per the Annual Performance Plan:
1. Teaching and Learning (refer to the Senate Report)
2. Research Excellence (refer to the Senate Report)
3. Fiscal Discipline (refer to the Annual Financial Review)
4. Responsiveness and Community Engagement (refer to the Senate Report)
5. Institutional Development (refer to the Performance Assessment Report and the Senate Report)
6. Advancement and Marketing & Communication Department
