Whilst the CEO gets a handsome wage rise to over $500K per year, others now face redundancy. Whilst tertiary institutes must be business-like in their approach, Unitec has been very poor at doing what's also right and fair for staff (and indirectly - students).
I'm a mother of a student who was sorely wanting to complete the course she BEGAN - this is something different!

Unitec cannot promise what it cannot deliver. Or it may face legal action for breach of contract.

Any miove to itinerant and part time staff will erode the quality and vision of the education offered. This is one of those short term gain for long term disaster moves. Don't do it.

17 staff to 570 students gives an SSR of 1:33.5, which would severely harm the quality of education in a program which as this, and would harm the quality of education even if additional part-time fixed term staff were hired to provide additional expertise. Moreover, the move in NZ to increase the number of people on insecure employment contracts is damaging to both the individuals who must constantly worry that they are about to lose their jobs and society in general.

Continued dilution of the quality of education in the tertiary sector will ultimately damage this country. While industry has an interest in what tertiary programs deliver it is not better equipped to deliver that education. Get real!
