Our site features news about UCT faculty

Major New Grant from Carnegie Corporation
The Carnegie Corporation of New
York recently awarded UCT a
three-year grant of $2 million for
institutional transformation and
employment equity.
A long-standing donor to UCT libraries,
scholarships and capacity-building
programs, Carnegie
will now support an over-arching
transformation project to develop
emerging faculty.

During the past 18 months UCT
has developed plans to nurture a
critical mass of black people and
women among the academic staff. The plan seeks to give relief to new and invariably younger members of
staff from heavy teaching loads, so that they can complete PhDs, conduct research, or deliver conference
papers; in short, to assist them to make an impact in their departments.
