15 Sep 2011Students Protest! The students at Victoria had a noisy protest yesterday, although seemingly helped along a bit by Workers Party types. Seems about 300 turned up to hear speeches and get some free food before 50-100 went up to the Hunter Building to deliver a letter to VC Pat Walsh (not a thank you letter). Security stopped them… Read Full Story.

16 Jun 2011Vic vs Greens The Greens have “attacked” Victoria Uni after the Uni asked the political party not to come up to campus during the exam period. While it might make for a big headline, it seems to me to be a mix of an officious letter and 2 hyperactive politicians (Hughes and Kedgley). Who cares? Quake Stuff Lincoln’s… Read Full Story.

News 18/5 – Dodgy ITOs? Loans and Human Rights. Quals Fraud?

18 May 2011Dodgy ITOs? The Minister and TEC put out a release yesterday about recovery of $4.3m from 18/38 ITOs over 2009 enrolments that were not backed by the records (Stuff). Personally, I suspect they were more disorganised and slack than dodgy (and the fact that almost half did it suggests a systemic weakness), but the Minister wasn’t very happy… Read Full Story.

In: Funding|ITPs|Policy|PTEs|Students|Tertiary Education|Universities
12 May 2011John Key’s Speech…yesterday didn’t say much at all about student loans that Steven Joyce hadn’t already said more about (NZPA reviews that). All Key said was that they were looking to offshore loan debtors to meet their obligations and that other savings besides putting interest on would be explored. Putting aside that, Victoria’s Geoff Rashbrooke commented on the… Read Full Story.

9 May 2011I’m off to Auckland for an exciting session to plan a qualification review (really, I am excited), so this post was drafted a little early and may miss a few of this morning’s articles.
