<p>CAPE TOWN - Stellenbosch University is coming under the microscope, with management now required to appear before Parliament.</p>
<p>This follows accusations by students of the institution's reluctance to deal with claims of sexual assault and racism.</p>
<p>A group of students has released a documentary, titled "<a href="http://www.enca.com/south-africa/luister-documentary-exposes-racism-maties" target="_blank">Luister</a>"which deals with life on campus. They claim they're being victimised on a regular basis. </p>
<p>The group -- '<a href="http://www.enca.com/opinion/open-stellenbosch-university-education-exclusion" target="_blank">Open Stellenbosch</a>' -- was formed earlier this year, as calls for transformation at tertiary institutions around the country intensified. </p>
<p>Among its lists of demands was for the university to <a href="http://www.enca.com/south-africa/maties-students-threaten-protests" target="_blank">change its Afrikaans language policy</a> because it alienated black staff and students. </p>
<p>Open Stellenbosch says it has received a hostile reception at the university, but has intensified its campaign, unperturbed.</p>
<p>It released "Luister" this past weekend. In the 35-minute
documentary, black students open up about their experiences at the
university. </p>
<p>The film has garnered more than 100,000 views on Youtube.</p>
<p>The university says the documentary is a misrepresentation, but says
it remains committed to addressing issues of transformation.</p>
