News Author: Corporate Communication and Marketing Division / Afdeling Korporatiewe Kommunikasie en Bemarking Published: 08/03/2021 Language Policy (2016) of Stellenbosch University (SU) is being revised during 2021 as part of the five-year revision cycle prescribed in the policy itself. Section 10 of the Language Policy (2016) stipulates that the policy “lapses five years after the date of its implementation" and that it “must be reviewed during its fifth year of operation". The current policy was implemented in 2017. The SU Statute stipulates that the SU Council must determine the language policy of SU with the concurrence of Senate and in accordance with section 27(2) of the Higher Education Act, 1997 (Act No 101 of 1997, as amended). The revision process was initiated October 2020 by convening a task team, and proposing a timeline based on the University Almanac for 2021. The objective is to table a final draft Language Policy (2021) for approval by Council on 2 December this year.
