Wits University says it’s reviewing its sexual harassment policies. This, after two lecturers were dismissed last week while two others are still going through a disciplinary process.

Wits Vice-Chancellor, Adam Habib, has told students that the institution is tightening screws to ensure that it acts decisively if such matters are reported in the future.

“There is a review of all of our sexual harassment policies underway. Once that review comes in, in about two weeks, we will look at it, and we will put in measures to implement an environment that is free and safe for everyone on this campus. It’s a non-negotiable,” says Habib.

He also apologised to every single woman that was preyed upon sexually by those individuals and anybody else. He says the university is meant to be a free space and promised that it will be a free space and they will act if people are found guilty.
