Keeping an Eye on Fees Fee maxima are complicated, especially in relation to course costs, so it’s positive to see that Victoria University’s students association is keeping an eye on the University. NZUSA has also picked up on signals from Steve Joyce that fees may rise.

Reforms Blogger Peter Wilson has written an interesting review of the tertiary education reforms and related issues.

WITT Cuts 12 staff face redundancy at WITT as it works towards dealing with the ending of one-off grants. Campus consolidation is also in the works.

Minister’s Travels Steven Joyce recently visited Unitec, his second visit to an ITO (Tai Poutini was the first)

Lincoln-Telford merger There’s a NZ Farmers Weekly story here - not much new, but Deloittes is doing the business case work.

AUSSE in ITPs Ako Aotearoa has facilitated the involvement of 11 ITPs into the Australasian Survey of Student Engagement. Unitec has participated in a previous survey. The survey has some great information for service improvement.

Otago’s Authority Respected Otago University Students’ Assn has withdrawn its appeal of a High Court judicial review decision that went against them. They were complaining about Otago University’s Code of Conduct, which covers student behaviour off campus. The two parties are now likely to settle the matter privately – the University’s Code will stand, but the relationships between the two parties will probably be improved, with student representation on the Code fo Conduct panel.
