White and right "scholars" arguing for universities to be politically neutral is a very thinly veiled way to silence Māori scholars and to allow hate on campuses. Fuck political neutrality.

Pukapuka is also our word for lungs. And in the same way we breathe out words when we speak, in writing we breathe those words onto the page. Might have gotten further as a young man than a PhD proposal had I warmed up to writing as more than an intellectual process.

Excellent to hear from those Māori scholars who have been involved with the royal society. A lot of these scholars have invested significant amounts of time, energy and labour into the RS so to see this move must be rage inducing
Professor Melinda Webber and 30 other senior Māori scholars (including 6 former Royal Society Te Apārangi councillors) have sent an open letter to RSTA urging a reconsidering of the governance proposal.

We at the NZAS hope this underlines how serious the problems are with the current consultation, and how urgent it is that the RSTA take on board the criticism they have received. We know none of the signatories to this open letter would make a statement like this lightly.

One of the things we're striking for is a LIVING WAGE for everyone employed by the university. It should be shocking to everyone that a university is not a living wage employer. This seems like such an easy win for the university - why would you resist it?

Making sure kids don't have access to comprehensive sex education is how conservatives make sure kids aren't aware of things like consent, and grooming, and when it's being done to them, which makes them easier to abuse, which child abusers love.
So I make assumptions about those people.
