ALT "social movements have sought recourse outside formal legal processes through protest such as the 2016 #RUReferenceList protests at Rhodes University against rape culture and sexual violence, the global #MeToo movement that went viral in 2017, and the 2018 #TotalShutDown protests. Institutions often respond in ways that assert their power and prioritise institutional prestige at the expense of survivors and their experiences. When the South African Supreme Court of Appeal found in Yolanda Dyantyi’s favour in March 2022 in Dyantyi v Rhodes University, it overturned Rhodes University’s decision to convict and permanently exclude her for disciplinary charges stemming from her participation in the 2016 #RUReferenceList protest. The Court’s decision represents an important check on the institutional power exercised by public institutions such as universities, by upholding the rights of all people to procedurally fair administrative processes including disciplinary proceedings.
