Midlands Regional SRC committed to ethics at Unisa

On August 12, 2022, at Unisa’s Midlands Regional Office, the university’s Ethics Management Division and the Department of Student Affairs conducted an ethics workshop for the Midlands Regional Student Representative Council (SRC). The objective of the ethics training was to increase understanding of moral obligation and the value of moral leadership in the SRC.

Following the training, the regional SRC members shown below were given the assignment to develop their collective ethics commitment in support of the institutional ethics drive. Their ethics oath follows below the image.

We also promise to further advance innovation, excellence, and creativity while preserving the institution’s integrity through ongoing, effective communication. We promise to promote collegiality in our constituency and to emphasise a student-centred approach to student involvement. All this we pledge not only because it is required of us, but because we care.”
