JOHANNESBURG - Unisa has been placed under administration.

He will report his findings to Higher Education Minister Blade Nzimande or delegated officials of the department.

This puts an end to a dispute between Nzimande and university vice-chancellor Puleng LenkaBula.

Earlier this month, LenkaBula interdicted Nzimande from placing the institution under administration.

Utter disgrace. So many people worked so hard for their degrees. #voetsekanc

What does that honestly mean for the degrees? Are they now worthless?
