Massey steps in

I blogged previously about the outrageous antics and rorting at EXMSS, the Massey Extra-Mural Students’ Society.

EXMSS is primarily funded by Massey University, and many (including the local newspaper and myself) have called on them to intervene. It seems they have listened. The university has e-mailed students:

From today Massey University will deliver the services it previously funded EXMSS to deliver to distance (extramural) students. These include advocacy services and administration of hardship grants.

The University wants its students to have uninterrupted access to these services, particularly as they are preparing for exams.

Distance students seeking assistance with these services or information about them should phone the Massey University Contact Centre.

Hopefully this means the EXMSS President will no longer be able to get their friends to keep voting her a larger salary for a part-time job.
