The assessment of excessive pricing: before, during, and after COVID-19 by Nyongwana, Zizipho

“…For instance, by departing from traditional approaches to assessing excessive pricing and leaning more toward price gouging, the Tribunal and CAC have created uncertainty and made it difficult for firms to internally assess their conduct against relevant benchmarks. In this regard, the fundamental question that arises when considering the post-COVID-19 era is whether cases prosecuted during the COVID-19 era can be used as precedent for post-COVID-19 prosecutions. …”

Analysis of information literacy training at the National University of Lesotho by Lefalatsa, Limakatso

“…Major findings are that there is no information literacy programme in place hence there is no specific curriculum at NUL, as a result there is also no benchmarking. NUL Subject Librarians take initiative to improvise information literacy content; they use lecture mode and library tours as their predominant mode of information literacy teaching and learning. …”

The Implications of COVID-19 Pandemic on Indoor Environments: Balancing Environmental Considerations and Wellbeing in Higher Educational Facilities by Shoukry, Farah

“…With no particular order, such findings include: (1)There is perceived difficulty in benchmarking carbon footprint reporting across regional university campuses to accurately reflect campuses' scale, population, geography, and nature of operations, which questions the type of metrics used for benchmarking. (2) Universities represent a potential strong key-player in accelerating the carbon footprint reporting culture on a city scale. (3) By implementing low-carbon strategies, such as improving fan efficiencies, and giving occupants control over the thermostat; thermal comfort can be greatly improved in learning classrooms. (4) There are changing needs for both students and educators on what to consider for the design of a university classroom which was inspired by the COVID-19 experience. …”
