About the Univeristy
The University of Auckland is a great place, and we do need to be connected with the world, but does language like this do the University and people justice? The University is much more than this:
"The University of Auckland is an essential contributor to the achievement of Treasury’s desired outcomes for the economy: an improved business environment, better integration and connections with the global economy, and more highly-skilled human capital and labour supply."
So there it is. A selected quote taken in isolation.
Should the University and the people who make it a living place aspire to be cogs in the wheels of the global economy?
