Universities South Africa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Universities South Africa ("USAf".), formerly known as Higher Education South Africa or HESA, is an umbrella body representative of the 26 public universities in South Africa. The USAF board is made up of 26 Vice-Chancellors drawn from member universities.[1] USAf endorses a comprehensive and equitable national higher education system responsive to South Africa's challenges. Through lobbying and advocacy, USAf promotes and facilitates an optimal environment conducive for universities to function effectually and maximally contribute to the social, cultural, and economic advancement of South Africa and its people. These captains of academia were firmly committed to digital transformation during the pandemic.[2] The commitment shown by USAf to “an optimal environment conducive for universities to function effectively” [3] extends into matters of transparency around remuneration and direct actions taken to address the scourge of corruption in their respective university chambers.
