Tertiary Sport and Voluntary Student Membership (VSM)
Thursday, February 25th, 2010
University Sport New Zealand is working with partners and affiliates to develop up submissions to the Select Committee against Voluntary Student Membership (VSM).
If Voluntary Student Membership had to take effect it would severe implications for tertiary sport in this country as funding and resource towards sporting opportunities at a campus level right through to National and International events would be severely reduced or cut altogether.
Current USNZ programmes such as the World University Games, New Zealand Universities Blues, Uni Games and Uni Snow Games will all be at risk. Training and development programmes run by USNZ for tertiary sports staff would be discontinued and new initiatives being explored with the New Zealand Secondary School Sports Council would be dropped.
Student Associations, Universities, Tertiary providers and organisations such as USNZ are compiling submission now. If you would like to make a submission to the Select Committee please contact your Student Association on campus alternatively contact:
