Martin said the report was not promoting the welfare of members and therefore unconstitutional. He said the report was also contrary to, MUSA’s role in student accommodation. There was some discussion before the motion was passed. Questions were asked as to how the Executive could claim accountability when the last year’s president’s report may give them a potential guide as to problems , occurring within the Student Association Guest speakers Councillor Da[...]d Paul Wintringham spoke from opposing viewpoints on the Employment Contracts Bill and the meeting voted that the Association oppose it. .

| Corporatisation has pretty much been the buzz word around New Zealand campuses for the last few weeks. Currently the government (seemingly under the advice of Treasury who regard tertiary education as a private good which must be paid for by the recipeint) is reviewing the tertiary education sector and investigating the possibility of privatisation. With this possible move would come the inevitable increased fees, but worse would be the compromising of teaching standards.

Although the consultant would not enlarge on his client, the general feeling points towards media mogul and chief executive of News Limited Rupert , Murdoch. Despite the offer being imme- diately tumed down, knowing the current financial situation of MUSA, this same company offered to ‘donate’ a monthly amount to the paper, or even privately ‘fund’ it rather than outright purchase. At the meeting thatfollowed amongmembers of MUSA media board, the offer was tabled, but immediately rejected. 2. Following that rejection, Chaff wasinformed of the possible consequences of such a move, consequences that couldbe detrimental to both the paper itself and thethe exception of Lincoln’s Caclin, the offer had also been refused.

The investor represented at that time is also believed to be the same R Murdoch. ” The memo did not outline the re- sultant action of a series of meetings that did in fact eventuate between the univer- sity and consultancy firm, yet a number of changes within the humanities faculty suggests that the ‘donatn'on’ may well have been accepted in some way. 1.

Under the same investigation we found out that the course structure was modelled on one suggested from that same Australian source. 3.
