“Do One Thing For Diversity & Inclusion” Campaign
Monday 21 May? 2012
As part of the International Week at Rhodes University, we encourage you to like and make a comment on the “Do One Thing For Diversity & Inclusion” Facebook page on Monday 21 May, which is the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development at: http://www.facebook.com/DoOneThingforDiversityandInclusion/info
The 2012 campaign aims:
1. To raise awareness worldwide about the importance of intercultural dialogue, diversity and inclusion.
2. To build a world community of individuals committed to support diversity with real and every day-life gestures.
3. To combat polarization and stereotypes to improve understanding and cooperation among people from different cultures.

Parking on Campus
Dear Students
As Rhodes University has expanded in size over the years, the road system on Campus has become increasingly congested, with a limited amount of parking space available. Unfortunately there will be even more pressure on parking from June this year, when the building of a new Education Building will begin in the Grey St parking lot (near Allan Webb Hall). The site will be accessible to construction staff only, with no through route. After completion, there will only be limited parking for disabled and staff.
Students are reminded that that there are 240 parking bays in the Barratt Car Park (with 24/7 security), within a 10 minute easy walk to most parts of campus. Also note that all restricted areas such as Central Campus and St Peters Campus are open after-hours for staff and students.
Your understanding and patience will be appreciated.

SRC Update
THE PEDRO ISSUE
At the beginning of the year, former SRC Treasurer Mr. Pedro Mzileni had updated his Facebook status with an offensive post implicating the Dean of Students. The SRC released a press statement distancing itself from the status update given its non-affiliation with the Facebook post and by extension, the former councillor. This saw criticism by members of the Student Body and questioned the SRC?s stance regarding forms of discrimination.
The SRC acknowledges the approach used and further extends its apologies to students that felt offended by the statement released.
The SRC wishes to re-affirm its stance fervently against racism and all other forms of discrimination listed under Section 9 of the constitution of the Republic of South Africa.
PURPLE THURSDAY
Many of us know that Purple Thursday exists, but do not necessarily know what it is all about. It is certainly more than just handing out free cupcakes!
