    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    According to a statement provided to Critic Te Ārohi from President Daniel Leamy, the Otago University Students’ Association (OUSA) plans to trespass Dunedin Councillor Benedict Ong from “all OUSA premises” following reports from students alleging “inappropriate and unwanted behaviours.” Guess he won’t be getting his $5 lunch anytime soon. In a letter sent to Vice-Chancellor Grant Robertson on the 1st of September, OUSA urged the University to trespass Ong as well. “OUSA takes student wellbeing
