Students reject Truth allegations
Salient Reporter
The following statement has been issued by the executive of the Wellington Teachers' College Students' Association:
There have been allegations of abuse of Teachers' College property and of lecturing irregularities.
We as representatives of the student body state:
- • That we have received no evidence to show that any lecturer has abused his position, either to inculcate, misinform, or in any way persuade the students to any political viewpoint.
- • There have never been any political meetings during lecture times.
- • This association has the fullest confidence in all members of the WTC staff and we believe that all lecturers are performing their duties with absolute professional impartiality. We feel that in particular Mr. B. Mitcalfe's out of college activities in no way affects his duties and responsibilities to his students.
- • That what all students and lecturers wish to do in their own time is and will continue to be their own concern in the democratic situation.
