The Department of Higher Education and Training does not have any policy for institutions of higher learning regarding the nature and kind of organisations that may operate on campuses of higher learning. The Higher Education Act (101 of 1997) as amended has entrusted the Council of a university with the role to govern the institution and the principal (Vice-Chancellor) with the responsibility to manage the institution and oversee the administration. Therefore, universities policies are developed by universities and approved by councils as determined by their statutes.
The Department is not aware of the operations of the World Mission Society Church of God at universities. More information in this regard will be sourced through Universities South Africa and made available to Parliament.
