“…This is because students feel that their concerns are being listened to and taken into account, and as a result, they are less likely to take part in disruptive behaviour. In addition, universities that encourage dialogue between students and staff are more likely to successfully manage student unrest (Onivehu 2021). This is because students feel that they have a voice in the decision-making process, and as a result, they are less likely to resort to violence or other forms of disruptive behaviour.…”

Universities in South Africa are confronted with student unrest, which has hindered the effective university education process. They have faced various shortages of academic activities and teaching and learning because of protests and subsequent management responses that culminated in the closures of universities at most times. Student unrest has made it difficult to actualise the set predetermined goals and objectives of the university. These challenges have severally been linked to problems with tuition fees, financial support for students, adequate and conducive hostel accommodation, student socio-economic background and university management styles. Among the management styles, according to the literature and observation, is the decision-making process where the issues concerning students are decided upon. This study explores the potential of the collegial leadership approach to enhance the university decision-making process towards alleviating student unrest in universities. This study is located within a transformative paradigm to transform social unrest in the university system. Conceptual analysis was employed to make sense of the adopted approach as a veritable tool for managing the power differential between the students and the university management. The study found that collaboration and teamwork, consensus building and organisational relationships are the dimensions of managing student unrest in universities. The recommendation is that collaborative management style, teamwork, consensus building and organisational relationships are encouraged in the university management process.Contribution: This article seeks to contribute to the higher education management system by providing a collegial leadership model. As an integral part of the university system, this model addresses student unrest and improves transformative prospects for the institution. By exploring new ways of managing internal conflict resolution, change is fostered, and improved conditions are cultivated. In this way, it directly responds to the journal’s focus on the transformation of higher education, making it an essential read for scholars and practitioners specialising in this field.

Sir W i l l i a m H e n r y P e r k i n , dessen Tod wir am 14. Juli 1907 zu beklagen hatten, wurde in London am 12. Marz 1838 geboren. E r war der jungste Sohn des Baumeisters und Bauunternehmers G e o r g e F o w l e r P e r k i n , der I865 im Alter von 63 Jahren starb. Der junge Perkin erhielt den eraten Unterricht i n einer Privatschnle und besuchte dann splter die City of London School; hier trat zuerskso darf man wohl sagendie ihm angeborene Begabunp; Rip die Chemie als Wissenschrrft deutlich in Erscheinnng, und zwar dabk der Forderung, welche der verstorbene T h o m a s H a l ldamals Hlassenlehrer an der erwiihnten Schuledem Kdaben zuteil werden lie& Die Naturwissenschaften bildeten in jener Zeit allerdings anscheinend noch keinen allgemein anerkannten Bestandteil des Lehr-und Erziehungsplanes i n der City ol London School, denn H a l l muote, um wiichentlich zwei Vortrlge ttber Chemie und Physik halten zu kbnneh, eine entsprechende Verkiirzung der Mittagspause eintreten lassen. Seih Schiiler Perkin erwartete diese ff nterrichtsstunden stets mit freudigster Ungeduld und lief3 sogar ihretwqfen o€t sein Mittagsmahl im Stich; sein Enthusinsmus sah sich dann auch b& belohnt, denn er riickte rasch in eine bevorzugte Stellung ein, in der es seine Aufgabe q*ar, die Versuche vonubereiten und H a l l bei den Demomtrationen wiihrend des Vortrags zu untersttitzeh.Wie dies allgemein bei Miinnerd zu beobachten ist, die ipgend einem Zweig der Wissenschaft ihren besonderen Stempel aufgeprkgf haben, trat auch bei Perkid di8 sich durch angeborene Geschickllchkeit verratende Begabung nnd Neigung ftir ein Speaialfach verhllltuis-mal3ig frtih hervor, und es ist sicherhh als ein besonders glGeklicher Umstand zu preisen, da6 Perkin an jeneni ersten kritischen Wende-
