- Description: [Introduction] A series of accidents brought me to this place today where I get to address those who’ve become an important part of my life about what my life’s work means and adds up to. Many people don’t get such an opportunity, but the academic community believes in the values of history and reflection, so such an opportunity is afforded to me, and I count myself fortunate (and a little bit terrified) to have it. Those accidents (which I will talk about a little more) have meant that I have had a whole career (as a journalist) before I became an academic and so I am a little older perhaps than most professors standing in the same spot. I am close-ish to the ending of this career and I intend to have another one (as a fully-fledged writer) before I finish altogether. What I want to talk about are thedeep preoccupations of my life which are: the personal and the political, talk and listening,and of course, writing.

Some reflections on academic freedom
- Slabbert, Frederik van Zyl, 1940-2010

- Description: The purpose of this meeting is as I see it, twofold: a reaffirmation of a commitment and a protest. We once again declare our commitment to the principle of academic freedom and we protest that a very important aspect of this freedom has been infringed upon in the University’s relationships with the Government. The nature of this infringement is enshrined in the Extension of University Education Act of 1959. Since then other statutory and legal provisions were introduced which affected traditional civil liberties such as the freedom of speech, the rule of law, freedom of association etc. which apply not only to Universities but to our society in general. How these provisions affect the academic freedom of Universities is argued very adequately in the booklet “The Open Universities and Academic Freedom in S. A. 1957- 1974” produced by the Academic Freedom Committees of the Universities of Cape Town and Witwatersrand. I am not going to use this occasion to repeat those arguments. All of them make the same central point namely: that it is not the function of the Government to prescribe who should be admitted as students to a University, who shall be appointed to teach and what shall be taught. At the outset then I want to make it clear that I subscribe to this principle and as long as the Government persists with infringing it I believe it is worthy of our objection and protest. For almost twenty years now this protest has been made annually at some of our so-called “open” Universities.
