Stop the cuts at university - please sign this petition
We ask the Government to urgently provide universities the funds to stop impending job cuts.
A moratorium on job cuts will allow time for a sector wide discussion of the chronic underfunding of the sector and formation of alternative solutions.
Tertiary institutions are facing significant staffing and subject cuts.
It would take years to rebuild the capacity lost by such cuts and NZ society would be diminished. Faced with a similar situation in 2005, the then-Government gave an extra $61 million over three years. Budget 2023 increases are nowhere near enough given present inflation. We believe there are better options than cutting staff and courses, and want to see tertiary institutions given time to make good decisions.
Stand up for our tertiary institutions! Sign the petition to demand action against the devastating staffing and subject cuts.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
