Recent events in the last week have led to increased publicity around a space at the University of Auckland tailored for our Māori and Pasifika students. As a result, this has led to many of our Māori and Pasifika students being harassed and discriminated against. The Auckland University Students’ Association (AUSA) wishes to affirm our unwavering support for our Māori & Pasifika student communities during this time, as well as our support for the need for spaces like this at the University of Auckland.

As we mentioned in a media interview last week, spaces like this are absolutely necessary in achieving equity and fair educational outcomes. They create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment that fosters a sense of belonging for our diverse student communities. Not only are they vital for learning, but they also create a “home away from home” for our marginalised student groups.

As a student association that is committed to promoting cultural diversity and inclusivity, as well as committed to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi, we would like to offer our heartfelt support to our Māori and Pasifika students during this time. The recent negative backlash on something like a space shows how much work we need to do as a society to break down barriers and achieve fair outcomes for all. We call on the University to strongly reaffirm their commitment to such spaces and strongly uphold their zero-tolerance policy for bullying, discrimination and harassment. Every student deserves to feel safe and included so that they can achieve their best during their time at University.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind all members of the University community to act with kindness and unity towards each other.

Below are some support services and links available to any affected students during this time:

❗️ CAMPUS CARE: The University’s Campus Care service is available during this time, and we would encourage any impacted students to reach out to the available support.
www.auckland.ac.nz/en/students/student-support/personal-support/te-papa-manaaki-campus-care.html

❗️ UNIVERSITY SECURITY: University Security is also placing a high priority on incidents related to this, and we would encourage those who experience or witness any incidents or disturbing behaviour to please report it immediately to security on 0800 373 7550
www.auckland.ac.nz/en/about-us/emergency-information/contact-numbers.html

❗️ AUSA ADVOCACY: As always, AUSA Advocacy is also here to provide support or confidential and professional advice should you require it.

❗️ AUSA EXECUTIVE: Our Executive is also always here to discuss any concerns. Please feel free to contact one of our team if you wish to. We are here to help our students in whatever we can.
