i didn't know what 'subject to this section' meant.
it seems that when there are more applicants than places available the univeristy council can do what it likes.
that is why it tries to get as many people enrolled in first year and applying to medicine as possible... get those applications in...
then the university can pick and choose whoever they want for whatever reasons they want. saying people are ineligible because they don't think they have the capacity to do the programme or because they simply don't approve or whatever.
there doesn't seem to be any accountability.
built into the law, i mean. it's just a law to give power to the mob. to legitimise or legitimate it doing whatever it wants... well, just so long as it keeps the programme 'competitive' so that there are more applications than places available so the university council has the power to gun applicants down.

why would you want to be part of a programme that has decided they don't want you to be a part of it?
it's pretty frustrating to me that they didn't bother to get to know me before they decided that i was rubbish.
but turns out they just didn't think to value the kinds of things that there is in me...
they don't have a sense of justice / fairness / morality. they can't really detect that in another. they are about covering their own butts more than developing in honest or genuine ways, even. the ethics station at the last interview was asking about the ethics of selling tutoring for entry exams. I said about how i would report on someone who was violating integrity of the test because it's hard to write a good test.
but of course that's the brilliant 'start up' idea that some medical graduate has had, at Auckland. Not to tutor people (help them understand the content) but to school people on how to score well in the examinations (using the knowledge gained by doing well in the tests). Selling the information to the highest bidders.
Gaming the system.
Not working to develop fairer systems.
Not workin to develop better systems, even.

Is a problem. Yeah.

It's not unlawful for the University to believe that the kids whose parents pay them the most in alumni donations are the kids they are most satisfied will pass the programme.
It's not unlawful for the University to take an alumni donation and convert that to a scholarship (titles) for their particular child. It's not unlawful so far as I can see for me to give the Uni $5,000 donation for a scholarship to be offered in the name of x -- with a wink wink nod nod that the council be satisfied that this partiuclar kid over there is a natural recipeient of that scholarship.
Whether it be a fully funded ride in Medicine.
I don't see it's unlawful for the council to take donations in deciding who they feel most satisfied about when it comes to grades, either. Or academic awards.
I wonder who gets to choose which kid in particular gets the Jacinda Arden Scholarship to Study a masters at Harvard in social change or whatever the centre was... I wonder if NZ gets to elect a representative or ambassador or whatever or if Harvard decides. Or if NZ forwards a list of people it is willing to have considered (and how much money their parents pay to some part of government to get their kid on that list)...
Or whatever...
I know things work like that here. Because you don't have to look too hard to see the proof of tha tor the effects of that in the way that things are, in NZ.

Yeah.
So... However they choose to select people... Appears to be working?
I guess you could say that. Yeah.
The skills or traits or whatever that they see value in.
I would like to learn more about money. To understand about genuine growth and so on. To understand more about how to help things in genuine ways yeah.
I don't really understand how some hospitals are an endless sink for money while others turn a profit. Is it tha tthe former take the moral high ground and refuse to exploit? No... The'd likely have us believe it... But it's often too much money going to people who do too little... Nobody (I don't think) resents how much money some people make because of the work they do. But often in the public system you have too many incopmetent chiefs who over-value themselves that's for sure.
I wondered what the merger was about... ONe is running at a loss.. The other turning a profit... Do they really want Boston or Philly to take over? Philly reckons they could invest x and get outcome y in profits, even. Lets take a look at that plan for that, then. Yeah. Huh.
________________________________________
I don't think I'll get the declarations I need for justice.
It is too much to ask or expect me to do this myself. So mob wins. Yay NZ victory! Victory for the mob!
I imagine that will be how it will go.
I need a declaration from Auckland that if they did deem me eligible then my rank order score was x and they selected people lower down the rank order score list (because the council believes that you lose your brain and need to be put out to pasture 5 years post-graduation)...
Then the consequences of Waikato refusing to do their job is the loss of my Medical Career in NZ.
Because that's why they got my work to examiners late (you can't make us hahahahhahahahhahahahhaha) and that's why they sent it out for the wrong degree... and why they produced false transcripts for me saying i failed. Because the council can say 'pass' or 'fail' or award any grade as it sees fit. it doesn't believe it has to blind grade or indepenndently or externally examine.
Of course it also goes down down down the international rankings.
Of course it also cries for world bank hadouts and vaccines...
It's a dump.
