The council of the University of the Free State (UFS) has announced the re-appointment of Professor Jonathan Jansen for a further term as vice-chancellor and rector.

Jansen was appointed to the position on July 1, 2009, and his term will be extended for a further five years on July 1, 2014.

“Prof Jansen’s vision for the future of the UFS is in line with that of council. He led the university successfully through a challenging time and his ability to bring people from different backgrounds together has made a huge difference in how the institution is perceived nationally and internationally. We are thankful that his services could be maintained for a further term and look forward to working with him,” said council chairperson Judge Ian van der Merwe.

Jansen said he was honoured and humbled to be granted a second term. “I will work even harder to advance academic excellence and deepen human relations at this great institution," he said.

The term of the vice-chairperson of the council, Edward Kieswetter, was also extended for another three years during the meeting. Kieswetter, group CE of Alexander Forbes Equity Holdings, has been a member of the council since November 2004. This will be his third term as vice-chairperson.
