May 28:/Cleveland: Achieving Justice through Reconciliation on a South African University Campus #MCLE

Dr. Jonathan Jansen

Dr. Jonathan Jansen,Vice Chancellor and Rector (President) of the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein, South Africa, will discuss how the South African Constitution’s guarantees of human dignity, the achievement of equality and the advancement of human rights and freedoms are being furthered on his campus. Attorneys in South Africa have been heavily invested in litigating the rights of students under these three broad constitutional claims.
Against a backdrop of the approaching twentieth anniversary of the end of apartheid, Dr. Jansen will discuss the reasonable measures that South Africa’s universities are undertaking to fulfill the South African Constitution’s right of its citizens to education beyond K-12. South African courts have rendered a number of decisions balancing the constitutional right of citizens to use the language and culture of their choice with a university’s right to make choices regarding the languages of instruction.
