Our uni branch presidents are together for a hui in Te Whanganui-a-Tara today. They wanted to take a few moments to send a message of solidarity to National Tertiary Education Union - NTEU members at Curtin Uni, currently in a tough struggle featuring former Otago VC Harlene Hayne. For our Aussie comrades, Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi is a waiata (song) that speaks to unity, standing together and supporting each other.

#whatsocietythinksido - Dani Pickering
Dani Pickering is a tutor in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Victoria University of Wellington and they love the one-on-one time they get with their students. But Dani, as many other tutors, faces a dilemma when students come to them during difficult times. Tutors are not obligated to provide pastoral care, but they are often the ones students reach out to. For Dani, it’s a constant struggle between moral obligations and policy obligations. They urge the need for better systems in place that will help tutors to be recognized and supported for the care they are expected to provide.

University staff work over and above what they are paid to do. They provide pastoral care, work after hours and continuously upskill – often without job certainty. It’s time to protect our education for future generations. Get to know what university staff actually do at: https://teu.ac.nz/campaigns/what-society-thinks-i-do/
