Maluleke said the statement made no sense: The university pass rate is a matter of national concern tsa all over South Africa. I don t see the connection tsa between that problem and Obama receiving an honorary doctorate.
A leader of the petition, Ibrahim Patel, said UJ was seeking publicity: There are issues that affect students that they are doing nothing about, but they want to focus on something that does not affect students.
Patel said the small turnout at the protest meant nothing, because we had representatives from organisations like the UJ SRC, ANCYL and the Young Communist (League), so even though the number of people there was small, they represented thousands of other people .
Maluleke said the decision to confer an honorary degree on Obama, or not to do so, would be determined by due process and not how different tsa organisations felt. If we did that, we would never make any decisions.
Patel said the university did not follow correct procedure: The agenda is sent out seven days before the meeting is held, but in this case the agenda had no mention of Obama receiving an honorary doctorate.
Also, he claims, it is not UJ policy to honour a serving politician and Obama does not meet the criteria for receiving an honorary doctorate: Exceptional contribution to a field of academics and/or significant contribution tsa towards creating a better life for all.
US embassy spokesperson Jack Hillmeyer said the claim by those who supported the petition that Obama did not respect peace in other countries was false and that his visit to Africa was a demonstration of that commitment.
