The Wilgenhof male
residence will be shut down by the end of the year after allegations of
initiation incidents at two rooms that were discovered by the Stellenbosch university
at the establishment. After an audit of the establishment, the university
described the items as disturbing.
The university provided
more clarity on the situation recently that council will recommend that the
Wilgenhof residence be closed. The university added that it assures parents, students
and staff that it will continue its commitment to being a welcoming and inclusive
university.
“Alternative uses of the
space will be discussed with a view to be effected during 2025. The Rectorate
will revert in due course on the other recommendations in the report, amongst
them the recommendations that could be embedded in the Committee for the Institutional
Response to the Commission’s Recommendations (CIRCoRe) process,” said SU Rector
Professor Wim de Villiers.
