CPUT ordered to please explain its student discipline process By Sisonke Mlamla Share Cape Town - Parliament's Portfolio Committee on Higher Education, Science and Technology has ordered Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) to immediately review its disciplinary policy to ensure it provided fairness. Committee chairperson Philly Mapulane said the committee was concerned about the outcry by the Student Representative Council (SRC) that the policy and processes that the university employed to discipline them, particularly the student leaders, seemed to be unfair and targeted the leaders in order to discourage them from being critical of the university’s leadership. Mapulane said the students complained that too much power seemed to be vested in the vice-chancellor and the dean of students to suspend them.
