UP Residence Names
In line with the University of Pretoria’s ongoing transformation initiatives and after a process of consultation, a decision was made to change the name of some of its residences to reflect a more multicultural, inclusive living environment for its students.
The University consulted extensively with residence house committees, which made use of house meetings, transformation committee discussions, surveys, and e-voting. There were also discussions with alumni on suggested names for the residences. Furthermore, the University held discussions with the Residence Advisory Board and the Student Representative Council. The University Council, in its recent meeting, took note of the processes and the outcome.
Each residence head will be responsible for the implementation of the name change, in consultation with the Department of Residence Affairs and Accommodation, as well as the respective residence house committees.
