]]> Comment on Chronicle of Higher Education report: Dismissals Raise Fears for Academic Freedom in South Africa by Dr Vesselina Merhar http://fazel.shackdwellers.org/2007/05/22/chronicle-of-higher-education-report-dismissals-raise-fears-for-academic-freedom-in-south-africa/#comment-92 Dr Vesselina Merhar Fri, 03 Aug 2007 11:20:35 +0000 http://fazel.shackdwellers.org/2007/05/22/chronicle-of-higher-education-report-dismissals-raise-fears-for-academic-freedom-in-south-africa/#comment-92 I used to be a permanent staff member at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. I was a Scientific Officer at the Electron Microscope Unit – Howard College campus. In December 2006 I was dismissed from the post I was holding. The main charge against me was gross insubordination because “I have challenged the chain of command by attempting to prescribe the manner in which my Line manager should communicate with me, that is with whom and using what medium”. I was found guilty of this charge, because I dared to ask questions. Any question that I have asked in order to get a clarity about the orders given by my Line manager has been carefully recorded by him and was regarded as challenging of his authority. I should say that very ofter my Line manager was highly aggressive to me. Once he tape recorded conversation despite my objections. Second time he attempted to tape record, but I burst in tears and he left my office. Once, however, I asked him to leave my office since he was extremely intimidating and aggressive to me. For this incident he put a charge against me of aggressive behavior of which I was also found guilty. During the hearing several students and colleagues came to witness in my favor (that I am an excellent supervisor and teacher) but their testimonies were not taken into account. Only the testimonies of my Line manager's witnesses were considered. Even my subordinate accused me of disrespectful conduct to her because I asked her to perform certain task when she has been busy with another task (I actually was not aware of this). Half year I was waiting for the University to set up an appeal hearing. Unfortunately my appeal was dismissed by the newly appointed Chairperson. After twenty years scientific experience and international recognition for my achievements I am now siting at home without job. I took the matter to CCMA and I am waiting for the outcome.
