Business case for Aoraki-CPIT merger should be public
Business case for Aoraki-CPIT merger should be public
Aoraki and CPIT have given a business case for their proposed merger to Steven Joyce, the minister for tertiary education, but to no one else, including staff and students who will be most affected by the change.
TEU national president Sandra Grey says the staff and students deserve to see the business case.
“The minister needs to make the decision, but the staff and students need to live with it.”
TEU members at both polytechnics have contributed and consulted on the proposal but now do not know whether their concerns and ideas have been heard.
“TEU’s position is that we are not opposed to a merger,” says Grey. “But we will oppose any cut in provision that gives students in the region fewer education opportunities.”
“We need to know straight away if the business case proposes any cuts that will affect our members' jobs or students’ education.”
