tertiary education: international students full fee paying 3x the standard fees and we refuse to grade their work to international standards of scholarship (to do with scholarly values like not plagarising, not falsifying data, not committing ethical or legal violations in the research, exhibiting scholarly virtue of inquiry and independence of thought).
we refuse to blind grade the work on it's merits with respect to the above.
instead we take a good look at the name of the student so we can be racist in ways you would expect and so we can ensure the best grades go to the children of the teachers or lecturers or senior officials and so on.
so our degrees aren't really worth anything. because they simply refuse to give them to all and only those who have demonstrated understanding and progress on the above.
instead new zealand has decided that it's basically a mob popularity contest, is what it is. they can give or withhold degrees to whoever they like for whatever reasons they like and -- what are you going to do about it?
come study in new zealand! waste years of your life and throw throw throw money into a sinking sump because there doesn't actually appear to be anything here....
people don't come here and give talks, anymore.
unless they are talks about how they plan to change the laws of new zealand to allow people to do experiments on people in aged care facilities without their consent because they are kept in conditions that have removed their ability to consent. so that just means they can do whatever tehy want to them -- right?
and no advance directives of 'i don't want you experimenting on me once you've incapacitated me' will count.

new zealand has been overtaken by dementors.
the universities.
the hospitals.
the government departments.it's all dementors shreaking and squawking...
while jacinda ardern sits in front of a bookcase with a government approved reading list of 'new zealand literature' that is government approved for quality (because commissioned / acknowledged).
like the avatar that she is.
__________
there's nothing here.
where is my degree?
new zealand doesn't acknowledge it's own qualifications.
but then it chose to hire the slowest workers who would agree not to sign anyone off unless they were slower than them... jack and jill cannot run faster than tehir master...
slower and slower and slower and slower...
i understand how that you can get slower and slower and slower ... exponentially? i don't know if there is a name for the... converse? inverse? of that. closer and closer and closer never meeting the limit. still going forwards... still going forwards... still going forwards... approaching zero but not falling into reverse.
