Buhlungu was placed on precautionary suspension with full pay pending an independent investigation into allegations of misconduct against him.Hendricks’ appointment was confirmed in a scathing memo sent out by interim council chairperson Sindile Toni today to the university community – students, staff, alumni, labour unions, friends of the university – and Naledi Pandor, the minister of higher education and training.
City Press has seen the legal opinions over whether the meeting of April 12, when a decision was taken to suspend Buhlungu, were invalid or not. "It would seem that the relationship that existed between the executive management [which Buhlungu headed] and the council before my election made the lines blur on the distinctive roles played by the executive management versus the council as the board,” Toni said in the memo.
He said the university had been marred by governance deficiencies for a very long time and that the past two yeas had seen an unprecedented decline and collapse of governance systems to unimaginable proportions. * An inability to approve the university’s annual budget and new policies to replace outdated ones, among other issues.
"A possibility also exists that the fruitless expenditure, if properly analysed, could be running into thousands if not millions of rands owing to last-minute cancellation of council meetings, because as the consequence of cancelling meetings, flights, car bookings and accommodation for council members outside the province must be cancelled, catering must be cancelled, and all those costs come at the expense of the university.
