PART 5 5.1 Sophia Gray

The lecture and exhibition series is seen as a way to: •

Honour the person or a group of people. As criteria for invitation, the staff of the School of Architecture must be convinced that the person or group has made a fundamental contribution to the praxis of architecture, the theoretical debate within the profession or to professional matters. Those invited should have a sense of, and take responsibility for, the effects that their creations have on the wellbeing, life and advancement/development of the general community. The invitee (s) must have a connection with the Southern African region. The process of selection is one of proposal, debate and consensus.

Draw attention to the architectural heritage of the City of Bloemfontein. The city has a rich architectural tradition, and attention is drawn to it by choice venue.

Serve the community. The lectures and exhibitions are seen as one of the many ways in which the University of the Free State, and the School of Architecture engage in and assist the community.

Engage in the regional and international architectural debate. By its nature, the Lectures and Exhibitions serve as a window into the thoughts of the selected contributors and as a means to gather basic information regarding their work.

Lexicon Sophia Gray Lectures & Exhibitions The School of Architecture at the University of the Free State started the annual Sophia Gray Lectures and Exhibitions in 1989. It was initiated and conceptualized by Prof. Paul KOTZE. The aims of this series are to highlight the contribution that architects and architecture make to society and were, initially at least, intended to create positive role models for the student body of the School of Architecture. It was named after the first professionally active architect in Bloemfontein, namely Sophia GRAY. It is generally agreed that she was responsible for the design of the initial chapel that eventually evolved into the Anglican Cathedral of St Andrew and St Michael in St George’s Street in the city. Although not formally trained as an architect, Sophia GRAY is considered to be South Africa’s first female architect. She was the wife of the first Anglican Bishop of Cape Town, Robert Gray. They arrived in South Africa in 1848. Sophia GRAY designed and built approximately 58 churches during the 25 years in which they established the Anglican Church in the country.

5.3 The Earth Unit Background

The Earth Unit (EU) was established in 1996. Between 1996 and 2000 seven staff members received training in earth construction at CRAterre-EAG in France. The EU is an UNESCO Earth Architecture Chair member since 2003 and Gerhard Bosman is the coordinator of the EU activities.

Past training activities

The EU was involved in building of many community projects, like crèches, community halls, a school, a craft centre, proto type workers houses and others. In the past nineteen years the EU has spent most of its activities on research in perceptions on earth construction in Southern Africa.

Past training activities

From 2003-2009 the EU conducted a research project in collaboration with the Bouwkunde Department of the Technical University of Eindhoven (Tue). The research project was funded by SANPAD (South-Africa –Netherlands Research Programme on Alternatives in Development). The title of the project: A South African Building Renaissance; acceptability of sustainable, high quality, public and private buildings to support local economic development.


UFS, Department of Architecture | SACAP • CAA Validation Visit 2017 | The Earth Unit

SANPAD workshop and survey

The SANPAD-project provided a research focus on the acceptability of earth construction in South Africa. Several national and international seminars and papers contributions resulted from the data gathered with this project. As a representative partner of the UNESCO Earth Architecture Chair the Gerhard Bosman presented the work of the EU at national and international forums. The Earth Unit continued with responsibilities as a UNESCO Earth Architecture member by acting in the scientific committees of international conferences hosted by UNESCO partners. Gerhard Bosman is acting on the scientific committee panels for the Vernacular Heritage VERSUS2014-2016 Sustainable Architecture Congres (VERSUS 2014-2018) and the XIIth World Congress on Earthen Architecture (TERRA 2016-2020).

The EU provides an innovation and experimentation space for students and local architects to make this transition easier through a hands-on approach. The Environmental Built Innovations (EBI) programme (implemented in 1996) is an integrated course running with in the four DESN Modules of the BArch and B. Arch (Hons.) student programmes. It focuses on sustainable human interaction with the natural environment through the field of architecture. The sustainability of the broader ecological systems and the interrelationship and interaction between natural and constructed landscape, climate, social / cultural communities and their needs with reference to human well-being and economic wealth are investigated. The EBI programme is based in the experience, completed projects and buildings of the EU. Construction’s previous teaching, training and research capabilities. The ESI programme development continued through staff input and changes to the curricula was made during 2008 to 2012 in the era of ‘”sustainability” and “sustainable development” to keep up with the growing demand for sustainable solutions needed in the building industry.

Community Service Learning The current modules accommodate community service learning since 2003 where a direct exchange of knowledge between the students and members of the community regarding a specific set of aims that can be evaluated. CSL projects conducted since the 2012 Validation visit were in Rosendal (2013-14) Lebone Village (2015) and the Mangauang experimental house (2015-1017). Environmental, social and economic sustainability concepts were applied to a broad range of areas from managing a business, to helping protect the global environment through more efficient energy and resource use. . Each year the Dept. needs to apply for funding from the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences in order to cover costs for students to be involved in CSL projects.

Community Service Learning Project since the 2012 Validation visit: Mautse Community: Rosendal (2013 – 2014) The Rosendal Mautse Development Association is working with the Dihlabeng Local Municipality on a long term economic and tourism development proposal for the town, focusing on arts, crafts and the environment, as unique signatures. We looked at an integrated plan which contained projects which benefit the entire community, but which are joined by a common thread of environmental and social sustainability.

The introduction and walkabout tour in Rosendal - Mautse

The revival and reinvention of the existing Mautsendal Cultural Village was an important part of this plan. The cultural village at the entrance to the town is a literal and symbolic bridge between Rosendal and Mautse. It was donated by the Free State Provincial Government, and opened in 2004. A number of projects have begun and ended. New life can be put into the cultural village, and turned into an economic and social hub, a focal point for a creative community.

Qala Phelang Tala and Community Service Learning Project at Lebone Village (2015)

Third-year students were involved with the construction of a visitors’ centre for the Qala

Figure Third-year students were involved with the construction of a visitors’ centre for the Qala Third-year students were involved with the construction of a visitors’ centre for the Qala Phelang Tala Community Service Learning project at Lebone Village in Bloemfontein. A variety of earth-building techniques were used in this building. In collaboration wit hthe Centre for Development Support on campus, studetns were involved in hands on earth building tecqniques on the Lebone Village site near Grasslands-area in Mangaung.

A prototype house constructed in environmental friendly building methods (2014- 2017) Mx Raubenheimer and Dr Bosman presented a Community Service Learning project called “An earth-constructed dwelling in Mangaung”. Students across the different degrees were enthusiastic about their involvement on-site with the production of stabilised sun-dried earth blocks (adobe). The project progressed well, with completion expected in 2016.

The excavation and concrete casting of foundations

The prototype house was constructed on a residential site in Phase 9 in Mangaung. The project leader is Mx Hein Raubenheimer and are supported by Dr Gerhard Bosman of the Department of Architecture. This project started in August of 2014 and will be complete in 2017. Student involvement was facilitated within the existing CSL- Modules at the Department of Architecture. As part of their design (DESN) and construction (CONS) modules small groups of students spent time with community builders and lecturers on site.

The measuring of raw material and mixing for sun-dried cement stabilized earth blocks

Architecture students in different year groups received practical instructions in the physical construction of the house that included setting out of the building, excavations of the foundations and construction of the foundations and foundation walls During 2015 and 2016 architecture students continued with the wall components for the house. In the theory classes on campus the different earth building techniques were taught. The practical classes continued on site. Different aspects of soil selection for earth building components, production of sun-dried cement stabilized earth blocks, production control and product quality control were covered and illustrated on site.

The soil mixing and placement of sun-dried cement stabilized earth blocks

The walls of the house consist of different wall building materials. Some of the wall building components (sun-dried cement stabilized earth blocks) where produced by 105 architecture students on site during a period of 12 weeks .

The curing and stacking of sun-dried cement stabilized earth blocks

Due to difficulties for students to attend regular practical sessions on site during 2015 and 2016, the project leader decided to appoint a small builder for the brick laying of the walls with the produced blocks. This helped to get the construction back on programme.

PREAMBLE 1.

Approval of the appointment and promotion of academic staff at the University of the Free State (UFS) up to and including the level of Lecturer is the responsibility of the relevant Faculty Committee. The approval of the appointment and promotion of academic staff to Senior Lecturer and up to and including the professoriate (i.e. senior academic promotions) is the responsibility of the Executive Committee of the Senate (ECS).

2.

This document provides the UFS with a comprehensive institutional policy, procedures or guidelines for the appointment and promotion of its academic staff members.

3.

Furthermore, existing academic appointment and promotions policies are hereby aligned with the more demanding academic standards being set for the University, as expressed in the UFS Academic Turnaround Strategy 2010.

4.

In a move away from past arrangements, the UFS has adopted a single Academic Appointment and Promotions Policy for the institution, which sets uniform standards for academic progression and which is applicable across Faculties, schools and academic departments.

5.

However, as is the case among many universities, the policy recognises and accommodates disciplinary differences, with particular reference to the professional and artistic disciplines. This does not mean a different academic standard in considering promotions. It simply means that other criteria for making those judgements matter, e.g. evaluating an artistic work versus judging the quality of a published article.

6.

The evaluation and revision of the criteria for academic appointment and promotion at the UFS is one of several strategies adopted to position the University among the leading higher education institutions (HEIs) on the continent and, in the course of time, in the competitive rankings among world universities1.

7.

It follows that the Academic Appointment and Promotions Policy was developed in concert with such strategic activities aimed at enhancing overall academic quality at the UFS, including but not limited to: a) compulsory class attendance, b) the increased admissions criteria for entry into undergraduate programmes, c) the compulsory core curriculum for first-year students, d) the Vice-Chancellor’s Prestige Scholars Programme, e) the recruitment of 25 senior professors, f) the recruitment of top students through the University-School Partnership (USP) project, and g) prestige bursary programmes at postgraduate and postdoctoral levels.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE 8.

The purpose of this document is to present a comprehensive Academic Appointment and Promotions Policy (henceforth, the Policy) that will establish new standards for the academic profession at the UFS. This Policy guides decisions about new academic appointments as well as the academic development, performance management and career progression of all academic staff at the UFS, from Junior Lecturers up to and including Distinguished (previously referred to as Outstanding) Professors.

9.

The Policy sets out standards of excellence required for eligibility for appointment and promotion across all faculties and links these standards to specified criteria within specified areas of assessment.

10.

The Policy takes into account the following academic positions: Junior Lecturer, Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, Adjunct Professor, Associate Professor, Professor (also referred to as ‘full’ Professor), Senior Professor, Distinguished Professor, and Extraordinary Professor.

11.

The Policy stipulates application, assessment, approval and appeals procedures for academic appointments and promotions to be applied across faculties.

UFS, Department of Architecture | SACAP • CAA Validation Visit 2017 | UFS Staff Performance Management

12.

The University believes strongly in giving full and adequate recognition to academics for excellence in the conduct of their academic work. While academic promotion is an important route for such recognition, it is not the only one. The UFS therefore commits also to providing other forms of recognition such as merit increases and ‘best teaching’ awards, over and above the recognition that comes through the academic promotion route.

13.

The Policy is related to the UFS Employment Equity Policy 2005, the UFS Employment Policy and Procedure 2001 (amended 2007), the UFS Disciplinary Policy and Procedure 2007, the UFS Grievances Policy and Procedure 2001 (revised 2004), and the UFS Performance Management Policy 2010 (approval pending).

14.

Since the approval of this Policy, the UFS Distinguished Professor Policy 2001, UFS Senior Professor Policy 2004, UFS Guidelines and Procedure for Promotions and Awarding of Additional Remuneration (Merits) 2007 and the UFS Guidelines for Honorary Professor, Extraordinary Professor, Visiting/ Affiliated Professor/ Associate Professor 2008 were revised to align with this document’s provisions.

RATIONALE 15.

Scholarship is central to the function and character of any institution of higher learning. Excellence in scholarship remains the key indicator distinguishing good universities from great universities2.

16.

For the purposes of the Policy, the creation of new knowledge is considered to lie at the core of scholarship. Scholarship is defined as “creative intellectual work that is validated by peers and communicated, including discovery of new knowledge, development of new technologies, methods, materials, or uses, integration of knowledge leading to new understandings, and artistry that creates new insights and understandings.” (Weiser 20043, p. 133). It also includes “building bridges between theory and practice, and communicating one's knowledge effectively to students” (Boyer 19904, p. 16).

17.

In its effort to become a leading HEI, it is imperative that the UFS attracts, retains, develops and rewards scholars of outstanding quality who perform in ways that establish through the institution a regional, national and global reputation for excellence.

18.

The Academic Appointment and Promotions Policy is a critical element for achieving this goal. It sets the benchmark for what this University considers excellence in scholarship; it measures individual standing within the institutional, national and international academic environment; it provides a clear career path for young academics aspiring to become leading scholars; and to a large extent, it determines the University’s reputation amongst its peers in South Africa and in the world.

19.

Institutional type has been found to be the most significant influence on academic reward systems in that it shapes expectations for academic work and subsequently directs evaluation criteria and outcomes for academic promotion5. In this regard, the UFS has committed itself to becoming a ‘research-intensive’ (or ‘research-led’) university.

20.

The main feature of this type of university is that its research base shapes the nature and content of its teaching as well as its community engagement. It is dedicated to the quest for knowledge and marked by a spirit of critical enquiry; it is committed to building excellence in scholarship and does not focus primarily on the training of people for professions; it is characterised by the presence of basic and applied research, a breadth of academic disciplines, a high proportion of postgraduate programmes, high levels of external (non-state) income and an international perspective on its academic and research work6.

21.

Accordingly, achievement in research – or excellence in the Scholarship of Discovery – will be the principal though not exclusive focus of the Policy. Teaching, learning and community engagement remain part and parcel of the core functions of the University and the assessment of achievement in these areas is therefore included in the Policy in terms of the Scholarship of Teaching and the Scholarship of Engagement.

22.

The Policy presents uniform and enhanced standards for academic appointment and progression set within a clear framework of recognition of excellence in scholarship. However, the University will not expect its academic staff members to attain these elevated standards of achievement without making available every resource, within the constraints of available funding, required to prepare, support and enable colleagues to achieve such levels of performance.

23.

Even though the Policy considered similar policies at leading national higher education institutions, it does not aim to follow standards set by its peers in the local context, but rather to set the benchmark for excellence in scholarship at a level that allows for comparison and competition in an international context. These standards will benefit individual staff members at the UFS in terms of their standing within the scholarly community as well as the institutional reputation of the University amongst its global peers.

PEER REVIEW PROCESS 24.

Decisions regarding academic appointment and promotion at the UFS will be based on a process of scholarly refereeing or peer review, which will include assessment of candidates by both internal and external scholars.

25.

Peer review remains the primary process of assessment and quality control in the scholarly community. It functions “to maintain overall standards as well as to recognize individual excellence”7.

26.

Within the UFS academic promotions context, this peer review process extends to the relationship between an academic staff member and her or his academic head. Heads will be expected to provide one-on-one advice, guidance and mentorship on an ongoing basis regarding the development of staff, their academic careers, and decisions regarding a nomination or application for promotion.

27.

While the advantages and disadvantages of peer review are much debated, the undeniable strength of this process is its ability to adapt to the varied needs of diverse scholarly fields and disciplines while maintaining uniform standards8. The peer reviewers themselves create this adaptability and maintain these standards.

28.

Reviewers selected to participate in the assessment of candidates for academic appointment or promotion at UFS will therefore be: a) recognised members of the scholarly community, within (or closely related to) and insightful of the specified field or discipline of the candidate, b) of equal or higher academic standing than the position for which the candidate is being assessed, and c) representative of both the UFS and the external scholarly community (i.e. institutional representatives9 as well as external assessors).

29.

The evaluative standards set out in this Policy are often based on different forms of external peer review (e.g. pre-publication peer review, publication-based peer review, peer review for scholarly rating/ grants/ funding/ awards). It becomes the responsibility of members of departmental, school, faculty and institutional academic appointment and promotion committees to scrutinise the candidate’s scholarly work and to judge – via letters of recommendation based on personal knowledge of the candidate and/or formal assessment reports based on application materials – whether the work meets the standards required for appointment or promotion to the specified academic position.

30.

This peer review process will balance the judgement of a review panel with the ability of the candidate (or their nominator) to demonstrate that her or his body of scholarly work merits appointment or promotion. The ‘burden of proof’ is on the candidate and her/his formal statement, portfolio of evidence of achievement and other application materials are therefore critically important in the decision-making process.

AREAS OF ASSESSMENT 31.

This Policy proposes assessment in three areas in line with the core functions of a university, namely: a) SCHOLARSHIP OF DISCOVERY, where the creation and dissemination of original knowledge is emphasised b) SCHOLARSHIP OF TEACHING, where qualities of teaching and learning are considered c) SCHOLARSHIP account.

OF

ENGAGEMENT, where the use of knowledge in service to the community is taken into

32.

As noted, the Scholarship of Discovery is the most important area of assessment when academic appointment and promotion are considered and achievement in this area will therefore constitute the majority value in the final assessment. But once again, the Scholarship of Teaching and the Scholarship of Engagement remain important components of the overall assessment of candidature for appointment and promotion.

33.

The Policy promotes activity and accomplishment in all three areas of scholarship (as articulated under ‘evaluative standards’ on pages 8 to 20 of this document) in order to encourage UFS staff members to move beyond one area of specialisation, to involve themselves in different forms of scholarly activity, and to develop knowledge and expertise in all of the core functions of a university. Academic staff members are therefore expected to demonstrate some degree of achievement IN ALL THREE AREAS of scholarship in order to be eligible for promotion. Also, refer to paragraph 58 of this document for further clarification. SCHOLARSHIP

OF

DISCOVERY

34.

A scholarship of discovery (which includes but is not limited to traditional research) denotes scholarly activities that produce the disciplinary and professional knowledge at the heart of academic pursuits. It encompasses scholarly activities that extend human knowledge through the discovery or collection of new information. It seeks to confront the unknown and exhibits a dedication to free inquiry, disciplined investigation, and the pursuit of knowledge10.

35.

The notion of a scholarship of discovery is broad and does not imply at the end of the process a simple quantification of academic outputs – such as the number of articles in accredited journals. Our notion of a scholarship of discovery extends to the production of artistic and creative works in various forms (in art, music, drama, creative writing etc.) as well as outputs resulting from professional activities (in physical and mental health, trade and industry, legal professions etc.) though still subject to rigorous peer review.

36.

Within the UFS context this area of assessment includes evidence of (i) the production and dissemination of original knowledge (whether basic or applied) in the form of scholarly artefacts, (ii) the development of new capacity for research in the form of academic mentorship and research supervision, and (iii) various forms of recognition in the scholarly community.

37.

A scholarly artefact – the result of a scholarship of discovery – is an output which a) is related to a specific field of study or discipline, or to inter- or transdisciplinary work b) is demonstrable, c) is in the public domain, d) is available for peer review and critique according to accepted standards, and e) can be reproduced and built on by other scholars.

38.

It is important to emphasise that a scholarship of discovery may be focused on the specific fields of teaching, learning or community engagement, or that it may be focused on a field of study which incorporates multiple disciplines, or that it may be focused on a single distinct discipline.

SCHOLARSHIP

OF

TEACHING

39.

The scholarship of teaching must be distinguished from teaching itself, as the scholarship of teaching is not synonymous with the efficient transfer of information or the facilitation of learning.

40.

A scholarship of teaching11 requires a critical engagement and inquiry related to student learning with a view to advance teaching and learning.

41.

A scholarship of teaching requires systematic reflection on, and constant evaluation of, the act of teaching in order to improve teaching and learning.

42.

The scholarship of teaching, in this context, encompasses inquiry into and reflection on the range of activities (events) concerned with teaching – assessment, learning, curriculum design and associated technologies.

43.

The scholarship of teaching is teaching made public through professional scrutiny, publication, peer review, documentation and evaluation.

44.

The scholarship of teaching requires intense engagement between professorial teaching and student learning, and therefore between teacher and learner, in the course of engaging, interrogating, evaluating and advancing knowledge.

45.

The scholarship of teaching, at its best, does not merely engage existing knowledge (such as what the student brings to the classroom) or introduce new knowledge (such as what the professor prepares for the classroom); at its best, the scholarship of teaching extends knowledge through the productive intellectual engagement between university teacher and learner. SCHOLARSHIP

OF

ENGAGEMENT

46.

A scholarship of engagement denotes scholarly activities that seek to relate knowledge to the affairs of society. It moves toward engagement with the community both within and beyond academia in various ways. It continuously negotiates collaborations and partnerships aimed at building and exchanging the knowledge, skills, expertise and resources required to develop and sustain society12.

47.

The aim of community engagement is to integrate the scholarship of discovery and the scholarship of teaching to achieve a scholarship of engagement that will benefit the University, its students and society in its broadest sense.

48.

It is not sufficient, therefore, to be simply ‘busy’ in community work. What is required in such work is the demonstration of scholarship in the design, conduct and assessment of such labour.

49.

Evaluative standards for a scholarship of engagement continue to be developed, but include existing standards i.e. curricula that are integrated in academic programmes of students (service learning and other forms of community-based education, including community-based research in the curriculum), as well as other expert services to and with communities undertaken by University staff.

EVALUATIVE STANDARDS 50.

The assessment of whether or not the work of an academic staff member embodies the production of original knowledge is the overarching criterion for evaluating scholarship – whether it is in the assessment area of discovery, teaching or engagement.

51.

The evaluative standards described (page 8 to 20) represent the desired level of achievement in scholarship that an academic staff member should reach in order to be considered for appointment or promotion to the specified position in the academic profession.

52.

requires adjustment to fit the professional and artistic disciplines, the stewards of such disciplines13 will be responsible to agree upon relevant descriptions and to ensure that such descriptions require a level of achievement that is equal to the desired level of achievement as set by the evaluative standards described in the Policy. 53.

The evaluative standards are cumulative, i.e. a person should demonstrate achievement as set out in the evaluative standards of the academic position for which they are applying as well as the evaluative standards of the preceding (more junior) academic positions.

54.

The evaluative standards are organised in terms of several criteria, including: a) scholarly output productivity, b) academic mentorship, capacity-building and support, c) recognition, participation, fundraising14 and other value-adding activities within the scholarly community, d) National Research Foundation (NRF) rating and educational qualifications, e) excellence in teaching and learning, f) integration of teaching practice and community engagement with the scholarship of discovery, and g) integration of community engagement with the scholarship of teaching.

55.

An NRF rating is required, particularly for appointment or promotion to the professoriate (i.e. Associate Professor, Professor, Senior Professor or Distinguished Professor). Even though the UFS recognises that the NRF rating system is not infallible, persons without a rating will only be considered for appointment or promotion to the professoriate in exceptional cases (e.g. where a top academic comes from another country where the NRF rating system is not applicable, or where the system does not accommodate a specific scholarly field). In such cases, candidates will be expected to show other evidence of recognition in the scholarly community similar or equal to the status signified by an NRF rating.

56.

Similarly, persons without a doctorate will only be considered for appointment or promotion to Senior Lecturer and beyond in highly exceptional cases. In such cases, candidates will be expected to show evidence of scholarly or professional achievement which is deemed to be similar or equal to the doctorate in their specific field or discipline.

57.

The evaluation of scholarly artefacts (outputs or products) involves both ‘counting’ the number of artefacts generated (e.g. how many peer-reviewed articles in leading international journals) as well as ‘weighing’ the value of what is produced (e.g. where such publications appear or what impact such publications have within the scholarly and/or wider community). For example: A science scholar who produces only two articles in three years – one in Nature and one in Cell – or a lawyer whose single publication directly results in a major restructuring of national government policy would receive a much more positive assessment than a colleague who produces 10 articles in the same period in locally accredited journals. Similarly, a history scholar whose book wins the Herskovitz Award in African Studies need not have published anything else in three years to be considered a strong candidate for Senior Professorship.

58.

A person who qualifies for appointment or promotion to a specified academic position should demonstrate a strong set of achievements in at least ONE of the three areas of assessment (such as Discovery), alongside reasonable achievements in the other two areas of scholarship. Given the current emphasis of the UFS on research, it is possible for an exceptional candidate in the area of the scholarship of discovery to be appointed or promoted without significant achievements in the other two areas, e.g. a researcher from an institution outside higher education.

59.

Especially in professional fields, where the candidate meets the criteria for adjunct professor but does not meet the preferred academic criteria for associate professor due to achievement in only one area of scholarly or professional activity, such candidate may be appointed or promoted to the academic position of Adjunct Professor following formal internal assessment as set out in the Policy. Such appointments and promotions may include, for example, a practitioner within the professional disciplines who has made an exceptional contribution in practice (such as a renowned cardiac surgeon, a leading accounting practitioner, a critically acclaimed actor or a highly respected judge). However, such candidates will not be eligible for i.e. Outstanding scholars within UFS academic departments, schools and Faculties Within this context, ‘fundraising’ refers to the successful solicitation of financial resources to be utilised for scholarly activities such as research grants, scholarships and bursaries, endowments etc. 13 14

appointment or promotion to Associate Professor, Professor, Senior Professor or Distinguished Professor unless they subsequently achieve the evaluative standards as set out for all three areas of scholarship. The following describes the NRF rating criteria, which the UFS regards as fundamentally important to those disciplines that are accustomed to using them. The NRF Ratings are based on peer evaluation and provide an independent benchmarked assessment of the academic standing of individuals. This facilitates the intent of the UFS to ensure the objectivity of its expectations of its academic personnel and enables the UFS to align its own requirements with national and international best practices.

Definition/ description

Researchers who are unequivocally recognised by their peers as leading international scholars in their field for the high quality and impact of their recent research outputs. A researcher in this group is recognised by all reviewers as a leading scholar in his/her field internationally for the high quality and wide impact (i.e. beyond a narrow field of specialisation) of his/her recent research outputs. A researcher in this group is recognised by the overriding majority of reviewers as a leading scholar in his/her field internationally for the high quality and impact (either wide or confined) of his/her recent research outputs. Researchers who enjoy considerable international recognition by their peers for the high quality and impact of their recent research outputs. All reviewers concur that the candidate enjoys considerable international recognition for the high quality and impact of his/her recent research outputs, with some of them indicating that he/she is a leading international scholar in the field. All or the overriding majority of reviewers are firmly convinced that the candidate enjoys considerable international recognition for the high quality and impact of his/her recent research outputs. Most of the reviewers are convinced that the candidate enjoys considerable international recognition for the high quality and impact of his/her recent research outputs. Established researchers with a sustained recent record of productivity in the field who are recognised by their peers as having:  produced a body of quality work, the core of which has coherence and attests to ongoing engagement with the field  demonstrated the ability to conceptualise problems and apply research methods to investigating them. While all reviewers concur that the candidate is an established researcher (as described), some of them indicate that he/she already enjoys considerable international recognition for his/her high quality recent research outputs. All or the overriding majority of reviewers are firmly convinced that the candidate is an established researcher (as described). Most of the reviewers concur that the candidate is an established researcher (as described).

a) Where in a faculty or discipline it is traditional to require NRF rating, the following ratings are required per position for appointment and promotion to the professoriate: Distinguished Professor ....A/B1 rating Senior Professor ..............B2/B3 rating Professor ........................C1/C2 rating Associate Professor..........C3 rating b) In highly exceptional cases and with substantial motivation, the committee may look at variations in these levels. c) In faculties and disciplines where NRF rating is not regarded as the norm, evidence of status and/or recognition in the scholarly community similar or equal to the status signified by a specified NRF rating is required per position for appointment and promotion to the professoriate. Each position from Associate Professor and upwards must be linked to descriptions formulated by the Faculty or discipline of what would be the equivalent of the relevant ratings – i.e. what is required per position – and the Faculty or discipline would need to convince Senate that such descriptions indeed reflect the ratings. Final assessment of status will depend on peer review by the relevant promotions/ appointment committee and should only be granted in highly exceptional cases.

In addition to exceptional achievement with regard to the standards set for (full) Professor in each area of assessment, a Senior Professor will be an outstanding scholar of unquestionable international standing who has achieved well beyond what is required of/for a (full) Professor. A ‘B2’ or ‘B3’ or higher NRF rating (or equivalent status/recognition as scholar) is required in the case of Senior Professors18. Promotion or appointment to the position of Senior Professor is applicable for a period of five (5) years, after which the promotion/appointment will be reviewed.19 Should the candidate’s ‘B2’ or ‘B3’ NRF rating not be awarded for a second term, her/his status as Senior Professor will not be renewed. Where a person has sustained a ‘B2’ or ‘B3’ NRF rating (or equivalent status/recognition as scholar) until retirement, that person will be awarded the title of Senior Emeritus Professor on retirement.

4. S E N I O R P R O F E S S O R

In addition to distinguished achievement with regard to the standards set for Senior Professor in each area of assessment, a Distinguished Professor will be an exceptional scholar with an enviable international standing who continues to achieve well beyond what is required of a Senior Professor. An ‘A’ or ‘B1’ National Research Foundation (NRF) rating (or equivalent status/recognition as scholar) is a prerequisite in the case of Distinguished Professors. Promotion or appointment to the position of Distinguished Professor is applicable for a period of five (5) years, after which the promotion/appointment will be reviewed. Should the candidate’s ‘A’ or ‘B1’ NRF rating not be awarded for a second term, her/his status as Distinguished Professor will not be renewed.17 Where a person has sustained an ‘A’ or ‘B1’ NRF rating (or equivalent status/recognition as scholar) until retirement, that person will be awarded the title of Distinguished Emeritus Professor on retirement.

A visiting academic or professional who has been invited to be present on campus for a limited period (normally not exceeding one academic year) may be appointed with the apposite title to the level of the individual’s appointment at their home institution for such period and will enjoy the privileges normally enjoyed by an academic employee of the university. In some cases, such an individual may be remunerated for the period of their activity. The title of Visiting Professor is an honorary title and lapses on completion of the period. A Visiting Professor will be required to perform specified academic duties or research work in the case of a sabbatical.

2. V I S I T I N G P R O F E S S O R 15 (B E S O E K E N D E P R O F E S S O R )

Candidature for such appointment is limited to people not in employment of the University and will only be granted to an exceptional academic/professional who will bring distinction to the university, in line with the honorary character of this title. The appointment is made on a three-year basis, at the recommendation of a Faculty and is not remunerated, but an honorarium may be considered. The appointment as Extraordinary Professor is potentially renewable.

4. Criteria for the confirmation of appointment at the end of the probationary period are to be defined by the Faculty concerned, and should include relevant criteria across the three areas of Scholarship (Discovery, Teaching and Engagement). The following two questions should guide the formulation of confirmation criteria:

a. Review examples of candidates’ research work. This is commonly the honours dissertation, but might be an academic paper where the candidate has already published. b. Require candidates to make a short presentation of their work. c. Require candidates to prepare a short review of an academic article. d. Require candidates to facilitate a mock tutorial and present a mock lecture.

UFS Academic Promotions Policy – Version 4M – April 2013

Research associate/fellow: A research associate is normally a retired academic or professional who voluntarily involves himself/herself in the research activities and/or postgraduate supervision in a particular discipline for as long as they remain productive and active and such an appointment is renewable at most every three years. Normally such an individual qualifies for the appropriate research incentive funding resulting from publications in which he/she has participated.

12.

A postdoctoral fellow is normally a recently qualified doctoral graduate who is invited to take up a postdoctoral fellowship at the university for a variable period of between 1 and 5 years during which period the individual is expected to publish at above the average target level. The postdoctoral fellow is usually recruited from outside the UFS and has been selected for the stimulation value that he/she adds to the academic project in a specific discipline. A Postdoctoral fellow is granted a non-taxable honorarium during this period of refinement of their newly acquired doctoral skills. A postdoctoral fellow may be expected to provide limited teaching services, which shall not exceed 15% of their time and will be as active as possible in any internal research seminars run within the discipline. Normally a postdoctoral fellow has an advantage when seeking an academic appointment. In some disciplines, a postdoctoral fellow may contribute significantly in the development of research techniques and procedures by collaborative activity with registered students doing postgraduate research.

UFS Academic Promotions Policy – Version 4M – April 2013

Eminent professionals (e.g. captains of industry) are sometimes appointed with an honorary title of the appropriate level. These appointments are renewed regularly (cycles of one to three years). The title holders are not remunerated. They serve by making an agreed number of lectures to students each year to enrich the learning opportunities created in the discipline.

15 .

A Visiting Fellow is an academic who is invited to take up an unpaid position for a period of 1 semester or more. The individual is expected to publish at above the average target level. This is not a paid appointment. The Visiting Fellow is usually a significant/well known researcher who helps stimulate new directions or productivity levels of research in the discipline in which they offer contributions.

14.

Unpaid Appointments

Affiliate lecturers, up to and including affiliated professors, are appointments on a three-year renewable basis. Such appointees may be appointed specifically for research activities or for teaching activities or both.

Nominations committees/ interviewing panels are composed as described in the Employment Policy and Procedure 2001 and are responsible to apply the evaluative standards set out in the Academic Appointment and Promotions Policy to their assessment and decision-making processes (i.e. drawing up the short-list and serving as the interviewing panel). ACADEMIC

PROMOTIONS

64.

Applications for academic promotion are considered annually (i.e. once each year) and promotion assessment processes at faculty, school and departmental level should be aligned with the meetings of the Professoriate Committee.

65.

A promotion, if granted, will take the form of movement from the present academic position to a more senior academic position.

66.

Promotion up to and including the position of (full) Professor, including Adjunct Professor, is of a permanent nature. Promotion to the level of Senior Professor and above is applicable for a period of five years and staff members at this level are subject to reassessment at the end of each five-year term.

67.

Promotion is not subject to faculty quotas or the availability of vacancies at the relevant academic position.

ELIGIBILITY 68.

Only staff members who hold a permanent academic appointment are eligible to participate in the academic promotions process as described in this document.

69.

Academic promotion is applicable in cases where a staff member consistently delivers exceptional performance in agreed upon areas in line with the UFS Performance Management & Enhancement Policy. UFS Academic Promotions Policy – Version 4M– April 2013

21


UFS, Department of Architecture | SACAP • CAA Validation Visit 2017 | UFS Staff Performance Management

This person may apply or be nominated for a more senior academic position, in consideration of the areas of assessment and evaluative standards stated in this document. 70.

Promotion is determined in relation to the specified areas of assessment (scholarship) and based on a candidate’s achievement within the past five years as evidenced in the application documentation. In general, assessors evaluating applications will only consider achievement since any previous promotion and would expect to see a marked improvement in academic performance in one or more of the three areas of scholarship.

71.

Staff members applying or nominating a colleague for promotion should carefully consider the areas of assessment for each of the academic positions. Should there be no evidence that the minimum achievement levels have been attained, staff members should consider not applying or not nominating a colleague for promotion.

NOMINATION / APPLICATION 72.

The conventional route to be considered for promotion is via nomination by the departmental head of an academic staff member based on formal performance assessment.

73.

Alternatively, an academic staff member may be nominated for promotion by at least two academic staff members at an equal or higher academic position.

74.

An academic staff member has the right to apply, even if not nominated, for promotion to a more senior academic position. In this case, the Faculty promotions committee will advise the candidate of the appropriateness of the application.

75.

All candidates for Senior and Distinguished Professorship will be nominated by a relevant Faculty promotions committee. The nominating Faculty promotions committee will be required to consider, amend (if required) and only then submit a substantive nomination (no more than 2000 words) based on their considered opinion for candidates deemed eligible for Senior or Distinguished Professorship. The nomination must demonstrate that the candidate has achieved well beyond what is required of a (full) Professor in the case of candidates for the position of Senior Professor, and well beyond what is required of a Senior Professor in the case of candidates for the position of Distinguished Professor.

76.

Applications for promotion will be made on the appropriate prescribed form to the appropriate assessment committee. It is the responsibility of the candidate and/or the nominator to ensure that documentation is complete, in the prescribed format and timeously submitted.

77.

All candidates for promotion are required to submit the following documentation in the prescribed format: a) Application form b) Candidate statement c) Curriculum Vitae d) Separate categories of evidence for each of the three areas of assessment, cross referencing different areas/categories where relevant [including copies of the candidate’s two best scholarly artefacts (publication/patent or creative outputs) for Discovery] e) Contact details (including email addresses) of three colleagues at an equal or higher academic position as that for which is being applied, at least one of whom should be external to the UFS f) Original certified copies of all degree and diploma certificates g) In case of recent NRF peer review, documentary evidence of the outcome of the review h) In an instance where the Head of Department/School supports the application, a written recommendation from the Head of Department/School.

ASSESSMENT 78.

The documentary evidence and referee recommendations obtained from those named by the candidate (noted in paragraph 77) will serve as the basis for in-house assessment. UFS Academic Promotions Policy – Version 4M– April 2013

22

433


434

UFS, Department of Architecture | SACAP • CAA Validation Visit 2017 | UFS Staff Performance Management

79.

Where a candidate has participated in the NRF peer review system within the past 2 years prior to the application for promotion (e.g. for rating or grant allocation purposes), in-house assessment will strongly consider the outcome of the NRF review in the decision-making process.

80.

At least three (3) assessors external to the UFS, two (2) of whom will be external to South Africa, will assess candidates for promotion to the positions of (full) Professor, Senior Professor and Distinguished Professor. At least three (3) assessors external to the UFS, one (1) of whom will be external to South Africa, will assess candidates for promotion to the positions of Adjunct Professor and Associate Professor. At least three (3) assessors will assess candidates for promotion to the positions of Senior Lecturer and Lecturer. In the case of the position of Senior Lecturer, at least one (1) of the assessors will be external to the UFS. Where an assessor serves on a relevant panel, that person’s contribution will be regarded as the equivalent of the written report. Lecturer level assessment will be done internally.

81.

It is the responsibility of the relevant promotions committee to identify external scholars and obtain written external assessment reports for a candidate. Where a candidate holds a valid NRF rating which is relevant to the position for which is being applied and had been awarded within the past two (2) years prior to the application for promotion, the promotions committee will not be required to obtain external assessment reports.

82.

Assessors and decision-making bodies will be governed by the contents of this document and in addition will be particularly sensitive to gender, race, people with disabilities and scarce skills requirements in making decisions about appointment and promotion. The candidate or nominator should present qualitative motivations in consideration of such concerns, where applicable.

83.

The relevant Faculty promotions committee will interview all candidates for promotion into the professoriate. It is recommended that at least one (1) expert in the appropriate discipline who is external to the UFS participates as a member of this interviewing committee. The promotions committee will request that the external expert make known to the committee the nature of any prior or continuing relationship with the candidate. Should a personal involvement with the candidate imply bias/prejudice/partiality in favour of or against the candidate, the external expert will be requested to disqualify her- or himself from participation in the interviewing and decision-making process.

84.

The committees responsible for assessment, recommendation and approval of applications and nominations for academic promotion are similar to those responsible for appointments, but differ at first assessment of all post levels and at final assessment and approval in the case of Junior Lecturers and Lecturers.

85.

The following committees are responsible for academic promotions: ACADEMIC PROMOTIONS PROCEDURE Post level

Committee

1st assessment & recommendation

2nd assessment & recommendation

3rd assessment & recommendation

Lecturer Senior Lecturer Associate Professor, Professor & Adjunct Professor Senior Professor & Distinguished Professor

Faculty promotions committee Faculty promotions committee Faculty promotions committee

final assessment & approval Faculty promotions committee

Executive Committee of the Senate (ECS) Executive Committee of the Senate (ECS)

Professoriate Committee Professoriate Committee

Executive Committee of the Senate (ECS)

UFS Council

86.

In cases where a candidate is recommended for promotion, the application will proceed through subsequent assessment committees for approval by the approving committee. In cases where an application for promotion is not recommended, the application will not proceed to the subsequent assessment committee level(s).

87.

Assessor reports, documentary evidence and referee recommendations will remain the most important decision-making tools used by these committees. UFS Academic Promotions Policy – Version 4M– April 2013

23


UFS, Department of Architecture | SACAP • CAA Validation Visit 2017 | UFS Staff Performance Management

OUTCOMES 88.

The relevant faculty Dean will provide feedback to successful as well as unsuccessful candidates through the relevant departmental heads within five (5) working days after the decision of the committee responsible for final assessment and approval of the application for promotion.

89.

An unsuccessful candidate should be given reasons why her/his application was not successful. The relevant committee’s assessment will be disclosed to a staff member who has failed to secure a promotion with a view to providing information that would benefit her/him in developing an application for the next round of promotions.

90.

This does not constitute a right of appeal.

APPEALS 91.

The assessment committee’s decision is final and decisions cannot be reopened.

92.

However, a candidate may request a review of the process if s/he believes that prescribed procedure was not followed or that the process was otherwise flawed or that the outcome was substantively unfair.

93.

An application for review may be lodged with the presiding officer of the UFS Standing Appeal Committee and must detail the grounds for requesting a review of the specific promotions process.

94.

Applications for review must be lodged in writing within five (5) working days after the candidate has received feedback about the decision of the committee responsible for final assessment and approval of the application for promotion.

95.

The presiding officer of the UFS Standing Appeal Committee will consult with a senior academic staff member within the UFS Faculty of Law who has not been involved in the promotions process to determine whether there are reasonable grounds for a review of the process.

96.

If the application for review is not filed within five (5) working days, the presiding officer to whom the application is addressed may grant or refuse a review at her/his discretion, taking the reasons given for the late application into account.

97.

Where a review of a departmental/school promotions committee decision is deemed appropriate in the case of a Lecturer, the relevant faculty promotions committee will conduct the review.

98.

Where a review of a faculty promotions committee decision is deemed appropriate in the case of a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer, the ECS will conduct the review.

99.

Where a review of a faculty promotions committee decision is deemed appropriate in the case of an Associate Professor, Professor and Adjunct Professor, the Professoriate Committee will conduct the review.

100.

Where a review of the Professoriate Committee decision is deemed appropriate in the case of an Associate Professor, Professor and Adjunct Professor, the ECS will conduct the review.

101.

No decision of the UFS Council will be reviewed.

102.

Where a review of an ECS decision is deemed appropriate, the UFS Executive Committee of Council will appoint an ad hoc review committee to conduct the review. The ad hoc committee will be constituted as follows: a) the senior academic staff member within the UFS Faculty of Law who assessed the appeal for review (ad hoc committee chair),

b) a lawyer external to the University with expertise in industrial relations and experience with higher education systems, c) a senior member of the UFS Council, d) a senior member of the UFS Senate, e) a person nominated by the trade unions NEHAWU and UVPERSU as an observer, f) a person nominated by the UFS Human Resources Department as an observer, g) a person from the UFS Meeting Administration Division who will be responsible for keeping the minutes and is not a member of the committee, and h) any other person appointed by Council at its discretion. 103.

The decision of this ad hoc review committee is final and decisions cannot be reopened.

104.

No member of the committee conducting the review may have been in any way involved in the promotions process under review.

105.

The review process will follow standard UFS meeting practice and will be administered by the UFS Manager: Labour Relations who will determine and communicate the review schedule in consultation with the review committee and the appellant.

106.

The appellant (or her/his representative) will present her/his arguments and evidence in support of such arguments in writing to the review committee by a date scheduled by the UFS Manager: Labour Relations, but no later than ten (10) working days after the constitution of the review committee.

107.

The review committee will inform the UFS Manager: Labour Relations of its decision as well as the reasons for the decision in writing within ten (10) working days of the presentation of arguments and evidence, if any. Within five (5) working days thereafter the UFS Manager: Labour Relations will inform the appellant of the review committee’s decision as well as the reasons for the decision in person as well as in writing.

AMENDMENTS AND UPDATES 108.

The Academic Appointment and Promotions Policy will be reviewed annually for the next two (2) years and will be revised as and when required. Thereafter the Policy will be reviewed in line with the usual UFS policy review cycle.

Since the communication of knowledge is a central function of an educational institution, public rendition of such research is highly desirable and may assume a variety of forms, which may be addressed to her/his professional colleagues or to society at large. Such renditions may include books, reviews, articles, reports, lectures, seminars, and papers presented at meetings. In evaluating a faculty member’s artistic achievement or research, attention will be directed to its vitality, integrity, originality, and overall quality, as judged by professional colleagues on and off campus.

Artistic achievement is an appropriate responsibility of some faculty members. Depending on the medium and specialisation involved, continuing efforts toward the creation, production, informed interpretation or criticism of works of art are expected in some disciplines. Such activity may take many forms: exhibits, concerts, performances, productions, readings, and writings. The academic artist has a responsibility to enlighten and enrich society at large with her/his artistic endeavours. Besides artistic scholarship and achievement, research understood as original investigation is also an important function of higher education. By continuously adding to the store of human knowledge, research enriches society at large while contributing greatly to vitality and depth in teaching. The university therefore encourages faculty members to engage in scholarly research, which is regarded as an added bonus to the work of the scholarly creative artist.

ARCHITECTURE WINTER SCHOOL 1. BACKGROUND The Architecture Winter School will take place in Bloemfontein from 13 to 14 July 2016 (Wednesday and Thursday) and will be presented by the Department of Architecture at the University of the Free State. Learners interested in architecture as a career will be exposed to the profession and architectural studies. This is an opportunity to gain a more intimate perspective on architecture as a career option. Attendance of the winter school is not a requirement for selection into the architecture course. Information regarding the architectural profession will be disseminated through talks by lecturers and professional architects, demonstrations, site visits and a visit to a prominent architectural firm. Learners will have a chance to communicate with students, lecturers and professional architects. This should help to clear up misconceptions about the student life of architecture students and architecture as a career. The main aim is to assist learners to make informed decisions on their future careers. 2. PROSPECTIVE AUDIENCE Learners in Grade 11 or 12, interested in architecture, are welcome to attend the winter school. Degree courses in architecture build upon the secondary school curriculum of Mathematics. Learners who do not present Mathematics as a subject do not qualify to study architecture here and will unfortunately not be allowed to attend the winter school. The course will be presented in Afrikaans and English. A good comprehension of both is necessary. Learners are welcome to use their preferred language during question and answer sessions. 3. INFORMATION The cost to attend the Architecture Winter School is R950.00 per course attendee. This includes transport during the lectures. This includes all required materials and equipment (paper, pencils, erasers, paper knives, cardboard, polystyrene etc.). Learners have to travel at their own cost to and from the Department of Architecture at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein. Please see the attached map of the campus in Bloemfontein. No accommodation is provided. Please note that accommodation may be relatively scarce during the Free Arts Festival which is taking place at the same time. No food is provided, though attendees are welcome to visit the various food stalls functioning on campus during the arts festival. Any correspondence or enquiries can be directed to the departmental secretary: Ms Yolanda Pretorius, Secretary: Department of Architecture. Please note that the enquiries office is th only operational until Friday, 08 July 2016, 12:00. After the 8 of July 2016 the enquiries on the answering machine will be dealt with on an ad hoc basis.
