News Round-Up 6 Feb
February 6th 2010 at 9:22am, By Dave Guerin
This is a new feature and I’d appreciate feedback. Next week we’ll probably introduce a newsfeed to the site as well.
- Lincoln University is seeking to convert a leasehold high country station into freehold, sparking fears of loss of public access – unlike most such issues, no overseas owners are involved! Some land will go to conservation estate but Lincoln wants to be able to carry outcommercial research activities without disruption on the rest of the land - The Southland Times.
- Aoraki Polytechnic Operations Manager Ben Lee has resigned and left yesterday, reports the Timaru Herald. I’m sad to see Ben go but changes often occur with a new CEO and the senior management structure is apparently under review. I’m sure Ben will be snapped up soon.
- The ODT has a profile of Otago University’s new student president, with a big year ahead involving voluntary student membership and challenges to the University’s Code of Conduct.
- The ODT also covers a $25m capital development plan at Otago Polytechnic, designed to fit within a $2.5m annual capital spend over a long period.
