The Institute was established as part of a settlement with the university after the notorious ‘Reitz incident’ – the public exposure of a racially oensive video made by four white students with black custodial sta in which the students were voicing their opposition to racial integration in residence halls on campus. For a detailed analysis of this critical juncture, see Van der Merwe & Van Reenen,Transformation and Legitimation in Post- apartheid Universities: Reading Discourses from Reitz(Bloemfonten: SUN PReSS, 2016).
