In the announcement Vice chancellor Jan Thomas called for another 125 voluntary redundancies across staff members.

💚 Scorching hot day! Today's show kicks off with a few new cuts from around the world. We then cycle through some gorgeous summer tunes before a brief period of drum and bass flirtation. This rolls into a trip down memory lane with some 80s/90s underground classics. An unreleased bootleg from DJ Name features before a final hour of power.
Thanks as always to all who have stopped by live, and many thanks to all those who listen at home.
Apologies to those trying to call through on todays show, the phone's ringtone was playing up.
I will see some of you for drive on Monday. If not, see you next Thursday as we prepare ourselves for shipwrecked in Te Arai.

Bronwyn speaks to Kevin Moran from Save Our Springs about Te Waikoropupū Springs which are currently the subject of a Water Conservation Order being challenged in the Environment Court.
Located close to Takaka in Golden Bay, these freshwater springs are the largest in New Zealand and contain some of the clearest water found in the world. The iconic blue-tinted waters are recognised as a wāhi tapu by the Māori Heritage Council and are of great cultural and spiritual significance to local iwi Ngāti Tama, Te Ātiawa and Ngāti Rarua.
In 2017, Ngāti Tama and Andrew Yuill applied for a Water Conservation Order, however the special tribunal's recommendatory report was not published until the 17th of March this year. In response, ten parties have lodged further proceedings in the Environment Court, some believing the tribunal's report was too strict and others, not restrictive enough.
Save Our Springs is among those appearing in court later this year, calling for improvements to the draft order.
