Presidents Meet Mr Kinsella
The Presidents of all New Zealand Universities met with the Minister of Education during Winter Council of NZUSA in Wellington.
They spoke to Mr Kinsella in committee in response to an invitation from the Minister.
The informal meeting was not seen as in any way abridging Association auotonomy, but Mr Kinsella reportedly said that he welcomed an opportunity to speak informally to the Presidents and he hoped that the experiment could he repeated.
Among subjects covered were said to be membership of University Councils; student demonstrations and their effect on the community; bursaries — especially postgraduate bursaries, and possible changes to University Entrance standards in the light of rapidly rising enrolments.
Professor Danks, Chairman of the University Grants Committee was also present at the meeting.
