Our International Studentsβ Officer Hisham Haq has resigned from his post with the association, effective Friday, June 6. His stated reason for stepping down is that with his impending graduation at the end of this semester, his focus is shifting towards life post university.
The AUSA Constitution (adopted at the 2024 AGM) states, under section 24(2)(b), that : βIf the vacancy arises less than six months before the term of office for the Executive position would end, appoint any Member of the Association to that Executive role provided that they are eligible to be a member of the Executive under these rules.β
We are working hard to find a new ISO to take over on the seventh of June. ... See MoreSee Less
Te RΕpΕ« Kahikatea AUSA and the Mana WΔhine Sub-Committee strongly condemn the Pay Equity Amendment Bill, which was passed under urgency by the current coalition government. This is a step backward for women and makes it harder to close the gender wage gap, especially for those in female-dominated industries.
The government passed this legislation without any form of public consultation, which goes against fundamental principles of democracy. This bill will lead to thirty three current claims representing thousands of workers to be dropped. One of the changes in the bill is to retrospectively change the threshold of what is considered to be female-dominated industries from 60 to 70%. This violates the longstanding principles of non-retrospectivity, a right that is upheld by common law, legislation, and international treaties. Furthermore, there will no longer be a review to keep pay fair over time in the long run.Β
This legislation will worsen the structural pay discrimination against women and devalue their worth in the workforce, particularly harming MΔori and Pasifika women.Β For every dollar that a man earns, a PΔkehΔ woman earns 89 cents, wΔhine MΔori earns 81 cents, and Pasifika women earn 75 cents. Failure to account for these intersecting inequalities perpetuates systemic injustice.
The message is clear: the government does not value women in the workforce. This act is misogynistic and we reject this act completely. This is a slap in the face for many students in tertiary education pursuing careers in nursing, research assistants, social work, and teaching. Tertiary students have every right to be valued and paid equitably compared to their male counterparts.The move from the government is a step backward and a complete disgrace. It is an attack on women.We call on the government to reverse its decision and ensure women get fair pay.
We further call on Waipapa Taumata Rau, the University of Auckland to strengthen its commitment to pay parity and to ensure equitable wages for all of its employees - students, teaching staff, and professional staff. ... See MoreSee Less
With end-of-semester assignments coming up, as well as exams, it is a great time to refresh your understanding of the expectations around the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) in your coursework and exams.

If you have any questions about Gen-AI, our advice team are here to aid UoA students throughout the year. Head into the AUSA House just opposite the General Library at 4 Alfred Street and ask to chat to the team, or send them an email at advice@ausa.org.nz. ... See MoreSee Less
