Sharpen Your Pencils
NZUSA Commission of Inquiry
NZUSA has set up a Commission of Inquiry to look into the many problems besetting it. All students are invited to present submissions.
The inquiry has been divided into three areas: Role, fulfillment and deficiencies, structure.
What should NZUSA's function be in regard to students, constituent executives, constituent presidents presidents, the student press, other national bodies and affiliated organisations? Should NZUSA be a political organisation and/or a service one, a pressure group or a trade union?
Does the priorities system work? What is the importance of Welfare, the role of standing committees, the effectiveness of National Office? Does the National Executive function as well as it should? What should the voting structure be? There are many such questions, and they all urgently need answers.
If you are interested come to the forum this Friday, We will be bringing you more information on how to make a submission as soon as they bring it to us, and you can contact VUWSA President Lindy Cassidy for further details. The studass has typing facilities which will be placed at students' disposal.
Remember, NZUSA is your national union. It needs your ideas.
Submissions close 27th April;
