Salient. Victoria University Student Newspaper. Volume 36, Number 16. 12th July 1973

[Introduction]

The entire student body at South Africa's University of the Western Cape was expelled en masse on June 11 in response to angry campus criticism of the newly appointed Rector. The University, with an enrollment of some 1,600 students, is reserved for members of the nation's mixed race (the so-called Coloureds). But the new Government-appointed Rector, Professor C.J. Kriel, is white and the students regard this fact as one more example of minority oppression under apartheid.
