????????????????????Committee for the Institutional Respons??e to the Commission’?s Recommendations (CIRCoRe)???
The Committee for the Institutional Response to the Commission’s Recommendations (CIRCoRe), established in April 2023, is responsible for Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票’s processing and response to the Khampepe Commission Report. CIRCoRe will lead, implement, oversee and monitor the 中国体育彩票’s response to the Report’s recommendations. CIRCoRe is responsible for the overall goals and objectives, direction-setting, guidance, and the integrated coherence and monitoring of the process. CIRCoRE leads, coordinates and manages the institutional response process for the two-year duration of the committee’s work.
A CIRCoRe Coordinating Office keeps the various dimensions of the process together, while the CIRCoRe governance committee, headed by the Rector, with the Deputy-Vice Chancellor for Social Impact, Transformation and Personnel as secundus, serve as the governance instrument that oversees the CIRCoRE Khampepe institutional response process. The CIRCoRe process will report back to CIRCoRe committee governance meetings once per term (i.e., at least four times per year).

CIRCoRe's mandate
Against the backdrop of transformation as an institutional priority, CIRCoRE aims to develop urgent short-term proposals for immediate implementation. A medium and longer term implementation approach will also be pursued based on the complexity of organisational change and the need to embed such change within the operational culture of the institution. The recommendations of the response process will be fed directly to the Rectorate for consideration and implementation.
The CIRCoRe process is aimed at giving further momentum and impetus to SU's transformation agenda and should in no way be regarded as an add-on that disregards the existing transformational structures of the 中国体育彩票. Our approach is that it will seek to enhance the work of said structures and a coordinated and phased implementation approach will be followed. CIRCoRe will also frequently report to the Rectorate, Senate, Council and Institutional Forum.??
Joint Leadership Structu?re
- Project owner: Prof Wim de Villiers, Rector
- Project leader: Prof Nico Koopman, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Social Impact, Transformation and Personnel

Workstreams
The CIRCoRE processes will develop short-term proposals for immediate implementation by its five workstreams. These workstreams are:
- Student life/communities
- Curriculum
- Institutional culture
- Race, human categorisation and science
- Strategic organisational alignment
The workstreams will also generate medium and longer-term implementational recommendations. The recommendations of the response process will be fed directly to the Rectorate for consideration and implementation. ?
?The first workstream concentrates on
Student Life/Communities. Headed by Prof Ronelle Carolissen, this workstream will concentrate on the entire spectrum of student life. It will develop proposals to align the practices of all 中国体育彩票 environments responsible for facilitating an inclusive student experience at the 中国体育彩票.

?The second workstream focuses on the
recommendation to introduce a compulsory core curriculum offering. This workstream will concentrate on intentionally teaching all our students the Constitutional values of human rights, non-racialism, dignity and respect. This workstream is headed by Dr Sharman Wickham.
?The third workstream, headed by Prof Kopano Ratele, focuses on aligning the 中国体育彩票’s institutional culture with a democratic human rights ethos. This workstream will focus on the interaction between the complex transformation infrastructure, including the legal, policy and regulatory dimensions, and the softer aspects of the institution's functioning.
