Letter from The Post Editor Caitlin Cherry: "I did my BA at Victoria University in the early 1990s. My major was theatre and film studies, but I took as many different courses as I could... I loved learning about the world through those different lenses" #saveVUW

One of the electorate's biggest employers, Victoria University, is getting ready to slash hundreds of jobs. In the coming weeks we'll learn if Programmes are to close, affecting thousands of students. How will candidates respond? This must become an election issue. #saveVUW

30 years after my degree @EnglishVUW still feels like one of my homes - as reader, writer, teacher, person. Wonderful people taught me. Brilliant people joined since, remaking disciplines & imaginings of what it means to live here and to care. We need you. #savingtertiary

Wow: all 750,000 Germans turning 18 this year get 200 euro to spend on any cultural good: concerts, theater, movies, musical instruments, books, records etc. It'll cost 100 million euro and is given in recognition of what young people lost during pandemic.

“The value and understanding that he got during his political science degree has been key, and I’m disappointed that he is not engaging in this discussion more actively.”
