Student
demographic profile
Although 96 workshops
were conducted, most
were attended by PASS
staff, while few academics
participated.
Positive progress
Regarding changes in
student profiles, the number
of undergraduate African
students increased from
4 118 in 2009 to 4 828 in
2014 – reflecting an increase
of 17.24% over that period.
A new admissions policy
was developed which factors
in socio-economic and
schooling criteria in
addition to race.
• Employer of Choice:
This project, initiated by
the Human Resources
Department (HR), aimed
to improve engagement
between line managers
and staff, revise HR client
service offerings, and
build internal HR capacity
to coach and support
leaders who help make
UCT an employer of choice.
A successful coaching
programme was accessed
by 175 PASS and academic
leaders.
Staff perceptions
of UCT’s climate
Mixed progress
While there were positive
shifts in staff perceptions
of UCT’s climate, some
significant challenges
remained. University-wide
initiatives to improve the
overall climate that were
implemented between 2010
and 2014 included:
• Census: A survey of
the UCT climate was
conducted in 2011, and
findings were compared
with those in response to
similar surveys in 2003
and 2007. There were
significant improvements
on most dimensions.
• ADAPT: These workshops
aimed to develop intercultural competencies.
