UCT vice-chancellor Mamokgethi Phakeng e-mailed humanities staff after the June 11 incident, saying it was regrettable that an individual had “disrupted the process through interference with the ballot boxes and ballot papers”.

This came after his preferred candidate for the dean’s job — a black South African woman — received only 27% of the votes.

The BAC said in a statement: “Dr Lushaba’s verbal and physical assault on members of faculty as the votes were being cast was uncalled for. He believed the political studies department academic would continue to disrupt any legitimate process for selecting a dean until his preferred candidate was chosen.
