The role of universities in fostering both their own transformation and the transformation of society at large came under intense scrutiny in a packed Baxter Concert Hall on 21 October 2014. Top university leaders debated issues of transformation in a discussion organised by UCT’s Faculty of Humanities and chaired by its dean, Professor Sakhela Buhlungu.
