BIUST steps up hunt for VC

Speaking to Mmegi yesterday, project coordinator Badumetse Hubona said the BIUST council has engaged Academic Partners, a South African recruiting agency, to hire the vice chancellor. The agency has since advertised the post in newspapers in Botswana and South Africa.

The VC would, amongst other duties, be responsible for all the issues of curriculum development, development issues and the recruitment of the rest of the staff. "We expect the successful candidate to be at work at least by June if they have to serve a notice at their current jobs. But if we find a readily available person, we would expect him/her to be in the office by February or March.
