Abstract: | This briefing is based on the author's experiences of teaching and research on five university campuses in South Africa, the Universities of Cape Town, Fort Hare, Rhodes, Walter Sisulu, and the Witwatersrand, between March 2015 and October 2016. Students and staff members at these universities participated in the 'Fees must fall' movement in vastly different ways. This briefing describes the diversity within this movement, based on observations at public gatherings, and interviews and discussions with university staff, students, and their families. Notes, ref.
