Since FeesMustFall has started an alarming increase in thuggery and disrespectful behaviour has been noted by the staff at CPUT. These members of staff are often CPUEU members and the expectation that they will stand at the leadig edge of the conflict between lawlessness and the protection of the university is leading to cases of PTSD, increased stress and illness. Often, these CPUEU members are putting their lives at risk in the execution of the duties. Support from management of the university has been scant, while staff have been publicly accused of not enough.
A call from CPUEU members to start and support a petition has been raised. Here is your opportunity!

The management at CPUT thinks they can ignore the mounting reports of trauma and danger our staff face every day. Their continued silence on this lawlessness is an absolute failure of leadership that puts every one of our members at risk.

Couldn't agree more with Jo-Anne Ridder, also experienced SRC barging my office, showing off name tags & asking if I knew who they were. I've worked with previous SRC members in the past & they were always respectful but that goes without saying, the present ones are a force to be reckoned with, & management are to blame giving it all their whims.
I was verbally assaulted, and racial assaulted by a student. I reported the incident to the University Legal unit but nothing was done
The disrespect for staff and the rules of the Institution has to be address urgently.
I am aggrieved by the level of disrespect, rudeness and the “perception of supremacy” that students have towards us since the #FeesMustFall# protests.
We need to stop this disregard, by the leadership structures of this institution, for the safety of staff members in the face of very real physical danger and the resulting mental anguish.
Bring back the rule of law and operate on ethics principles or CPUT will be in Zombie land were there are no rules.
Its a very sad situation in how management forgets about the residence staff at the volatile period of fees must fall. All other staff members are told to go home for their safety and we are left here with no protection whatsoever. Everyone is quite aware that all the damage starts at the residences but nothing is done putting the lives of residence staff and their families at risk. It is quite disappointing that there is lack of response from management in terms of offering safety and protection measures for residence staff when they are informed and quite aware of the situation. All the mayhem usually happens during ungodly hours disturbing our peace and sleep, mind you the kids have to go to school the following day. It really saddens everyone to see how things are turning out in this institution.

I would like to see more updates of any activities as they happen on campus. We often have to listen to the grapevine to make safety assessments. Last year was a case in point. The little activity of this year was also not well-communicated and quickly as well. Rumour is not a good thing to react to, especially for those more psychologically affected than others.
