Dear UP community,
As part of the University of Pretoria’s commitment to innovation and transformation, we are excited to announce the approved Ethical Governance of Digital Technology Guideline. This guideline is a cornerstone of our Digital Transformation Strategy and reflects our shared responsibility to ensure that technology aligns with our university's core values and principles.
Why This Matters:
The guideline serves as a roadmap for using digital technology in a way that promotes trust, equity, and accountability. It is designed to safeguard our university community, ensuring that technology enhances—rather than compromises—our mission to advance knowledge and serve humanity responsibly.
To help you understand the importance and implementation of the guideline, we encourage you to:
Your Role in Ethical Governance:
Ethical governance is a shared responsibility. Each of us has a part to play in ensuring that UP’s digital transformation is inclusive, transparent and human-centred. By using technology responsibly and participating in digital literacy initiatives, we can collectively create a positive impact on our community.
Let’s embrace this opportunity to lead by example in building a responsible digital future. Together, we can ensure that technology reflects our shared values and drives meaningful progress.
Thank you for your commitment to this important initiative.
