Following immense backlash from the student body about proposed closures of 4 libraries that belong to the Arts faculties, it has been found that Auckland University executives have spent almost $40,000 in 4 years on eight memberships at the Northern Club. Vice Chancellor Stuart McCucheon says the memberships are worthwhile because they host functions that raise funds for the university. However, Auckland University Student Association doesn’t understand why they need expensive membership to have those kinds of meetings, and say that it's absolutely inappropriate to spend that kind of money when the university is quoting tight financial constraints as a justification for cutting libraries and entire language programs. Mary-Margaret spoke to vice-president Jessica Palaret about the student union’s thoughts.
