UP Transformation Office

In 2017, the University approved its first Transformation Plan and the establishment of the Transformation office. The Plan was a response to redress its long history of exclusion where many South Africans were excluded from obtaining an education and working for the institution. The leadership of the University demonstrated their commitment by making it clear that transformation at UP will be a strategic driver for ensuring success in teaching, learning and research; a means for attracting historically disadvantaged communities, and a catalyst for creating the conditions in which all members of the University can thrive.
