Invitation to Comment on the Final Proposed Amendments to the Constitution of the Convocation
Dear UJ Convocation Members
The Convocation is a structure, accountable to Council, that represents the interests of the Convocation Members and UJ. The membership of the Convocation consists of Alumni (diplomates and graduates of formal subsidised qualifications) of the University of Johannesburg, the former Rand Afrikaans University and the former Technikon Witwatersrand; the Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Deputy Vice-Chancellors, the Registrar and other members of the Management Executive Committee; permanent academic employees; and retired permanent academic employees of the University.
Further to our previous communication inviting members of the UJ Convocation to comment on the proposed amendments to the Constitution of the Convocation, we wish to acknowledge and thank all members who provided input. Some members also requested clarification on specific sections to enhance clarity and interpretation. The final draft has been revised to incorporate the input received. We now invite members of the UJ Convocation to review and provide feedback on this final version, which will subsequently be submitted to Council for consideration and possible approval. Comments may be submitted from 05 June 2025 until 10 June 2025 at 23h59
We invite your comments on the final proposed amendments via this submission page link: https://www.formpl.us/form/6154861909245952
