NZ 'universities; have clever tricks that enable their bloated administrative management to claim they are 'world leading'. The numbers of international staff (not necessarily living in NZ, but paid to 'lecture' online); the ratio of students:staff (easily manipulated) and assessments that lack grading criteria or audit so that pass rates are exaggerated. These institutions can propagandise all they like. In the end, they fool no-one but the Chinese students' parents they exploit.
Ms Mutu, Auckland academic - “…We [maori] have been traders for hundreds and hundreds of years. We have lots of National [maori] groups who work for our people who have structures that we can work off, based on hapu and iwi…”.
“Don’t be so humble; you’re not that great”.
Golda Meir [former Israeli PM] famously took the arrogant down a notch with these wise words.
Well said. In the ODT an Otago University spokesperson said that they had only lost 2 donors. I wonder how many "unsubscribers" they had? I slipped quietly away by clicking unsubscribe - I figured there'd be enough others doing this to give the message.
I also wonder if Whittaker's are going to go them for copying the design on their cocoa pods.
