Message from the VC

I've forwarded the message, he seems quite polite, thats good.


Dear Tim
I regret that I was in Cape Town for meetings over the weekend and then
returned only to be laid low by flu. I am afraid that in the light of my
commitments over this past week and into the next weeks the time you provide
for a response is simply too short.
Some shape and size matters are in the process of being finalised and if the
article can be held for the following issue of Activate you could have some
more definite answers.
Regards
Saleem

Dear Dr Badat

I am part of the Journalism 3 writing and editing class and we are
writing a story about the size and shape debate. We are publishing the
story in Activate nat the beginning of next term but our deadline is
Wednesday.
Would you please answer the following questions for us?
1. How exactly did the size and shape debate start?
2. What, in your opinion, is the reasoning behind Naledi Pandor's
2010 targets for the size and shape of the university?
3. After the faculty board meetings on Monday 21 May, what is the
direction Rhodes is taking with regards to the future size and shape
of the university?
4. What plans are there to secure funding for expansion of the
university, should a decision be taken to expand admission?
Your assistance in answerng these questions will be much apppreciated
Thank you
Tim Walker
