All institutions responded with great urgency to demonstrate managerial commitment to the change project; all but one institution placed the senate as the highest academic body at a university at the centre of the decolonization drive. What did this heightened sense of responsibility mean, and would it carry through on its commitments to student demands for decolonization in general and the curriculum in particular?
