University of the Western Cape

The University of the Western Cape (UWC), in Afrikaans Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland, is a public research university in Bellville, about 20 kilometres northeast of central Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa.西开普大学（University of the Western Cape，简称 UWC，南非荷兰语作 Universiteit van Wes-Kaapland）是南非西开普省一所公立研究型大学，校址在贝尔维尔，距开普敦市中心东北约 20 公里。

It was created by the apartheid government under the Extension of University Education Act of 1959 as a university for Coloured students, opened in 1960 with 166 students and 17 staff, and became one of the most important academic sites of resistance to apartheid before 1994.该校由种族隔离政府在 1959 年《大学教育扩展法》下设立，专收「有色人种」学生，1960 年开学时仅有 166 名学生与 17 名教职员，后在 1994 年前成为抵制种族隔离最重要的学术阵地之一。

UWC now teaches more than 26,000 students across seven faculties, produces over 5,000 graduates a year and is placed in the 1001-1200 band of the 2027 QS World University Rankings, with a 701-800 band in the 2027 Times Higher Education table.西开普大学现有七个学院、在校生逾 26000 人，每年培养 5000 余名毕业生；2027 年 QS 世界大学排名将其列入第 1001-1200 位区间，2027 年泰晤士高等教育排名则列第 701-800 位区间。

History

• The Extension of University Education Act of 1959 made segregated higher education a statutory system, and UWC opened in 1960 as a university college without autonomy, its degrees examined and awarded by the University of South Africa.1959 年《大学教育扩展法》把种族隔离高等教育变成法定制度，西开普大学 1960 年以无自治权的大学学院开学，学位由南非大学考核并授予。
• The first cohort numbered 166 students taught by 17 staff, most lecturers were white and many came from Stellenbosch University, and Afrikaans was the language of most lectures in the early years.首届学生 166 人、教职员 17 人，多数讲师为白人且不少来自斯泰伦博斯大学，建校初期多数课程以南非荷兰语授课。
• N. J. Sieberhagen served as the first rector from 1960 to 1973, a period in which the college trained students mainly for lower and middle-level posts in schools and the civil service.N. J. 西伯哈根于 1960 至 1973 年任首任校长，此间学院主要把学生培养为学校与公务系统基层及中层岗位人员。
• During its first fifteen years the board and most of the staff were white and broadly aligned with the National Party, and only a handful of academics, Adam Small among them, dissented from the institution's apartheid purpose.建校最初十五年，校董会与多数教职员为白人且大体认同国民党立场，只有包括亚当·斯莫尔在内的少数教师对这所院校的种族隔离使命持异议。
• The institution gained full university status in 1970, which allowed it to award its own degrees and diplomas and ended its dependence on the University of South Africa for examinations.学院于 1970 年获得完整大学地位，得以自行授予学位与文凭，并结束对南非大学的考试依赖。
• Adam Small, head of the philosophy department from 1960, resigned in 1973 after his involvement in the Black Consciousness Movement, one of the few early staff members openly opposed to the institution's apartheid mandate.1960 年起执掌哲学系的亚当·斯莫尔因参与黑人觉醒运动于 1973 年辞职，他是早期少数公开反对学校种族隔离使命的教职员之一。
• Student protests against a conservative board and against their exclusion from university governance led to the appointment of Richard E. van der Ross in 1975 as the first Coloured rector, a turning point in the institution's political culture.学生抗议保守校董会并反对被排除在校务治理之外，促使校方于 1975 年任命理查德·E. 范德罗斯为首位有色人种校长，成为学校政治文化的转折点。
• UWC formally rejected apartheid ideology in its 1982 mission statement, and the University of the Western Cape Act of 1983 gave it the same autonomy enjoyed by white universities.西开普大学在 1982 年使命宣言中正式拒绝种族隔离意识形态，1983 年《西开普大学法》又赋予它与白人大学同等的自治权。
• Jakes Gerwel became rector in 1987 and made UWC an intellectual home of the left, opening admissions to growing numbers of black students and tying research to social and political questions.杰克斯·格维尔 1987 年出任校长，把西开普大学打造成「左翼的知识分子之家」，向越来越多的黑人学生开放招生，并把研究与政治社会议题相连。
• Desmond Tutu served as chancellor from 1987 to 2012, the longest-serving South African chancellor of any university, and was succeeded in 2012 by Thabo Makgoba, the Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town.德斯蒙德·图图于 1987 至 2012 年任校监，是南非大学中任期最长的校监，2012 年由开普敦圣公会大主教塔博·马科戈巴接任。
• In the late 1980s and early 1990s UWC students helped create Bush Radio, distributing anti-apartheid programming on cassette because the station had no broadcast licence, and by 1993 it was broadcasting as a pirate station.1980 年代末至 1990 年代初，西开普大学学生参与创办「布什电台」，因无广播执照而以盒式磁带分发反种族隔离节目，1993 年该台以地下电台方式播音。
• Bush Radio eventually became South Africa's first licensed community radio station, and the project is treated by the university as an example of media activism rooted in its own student movement.布什电台最终成为南非第一家获发执照的社区广播电台，校方将此项目视为植根于本校学生运动的媒体行动主义范例。
• Cecil Abrahams succeeded Gerwel in 1995, Brian O'Connell followed in 2001, and UWC retained its status as an autonomous university in the 2002 restructuring of South African higher education.塞西尔·亚伯拉罕斯于 1995 年接替格维尔，布赖恩·奥康奈尔于 2001 年继任；在 2002 年南非高等教育重组中，西开普大学保住了自治大学地位。
• UWC became the only African institution in the OpenCourseWare Consortium and was elected to its board in 2007, an early sign of its open-education strategy.西开普大学成为开放课程联盟中唯一的非洲成员机构，并于 2007 年当选该联盟理事，这是其开放教育战略的早期信号。
• In 2010 the university marked its 50th anniversary, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu announced during that year that he would step down as chancellor after the 2011 summer graduation ceremonies.2010 年学校纪念建校 50 周年，德斯蒙德·图图大主教亦于当年宣布将在 2011 年夏季毕业典礼后卸任校监。
