Bachelor of Science about to disappear from the North Shore - sign petition

Joachim from Albany

Massey University is considering to stop offering the Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree programmes at their Albany campus. Currently there are about 650 undergraduate students and 150 postgraduate students in natural and mathematical sciences on Massey's Albany campus, whose courses will be removed, and about 70 academic staff jobs are under threat.

Community events, like the the free lecture series The Fascination of Science regularly announced on this forum will go as well if the changes go ahead.

Please consider supporting sciences at Massey Albany by signing the petition at www.change.org....

A lot of background information and links to news articles can be found on the petition web site.

Please also consider supporting a student-initiated petition that Jessica (www.neighbourly.co.nz...) posted about yesterday.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
