P.M.’s view disputed
Statements made by the Prime Minister, Mr Muldqon, doubting the “relevance” of university, teaching and research have been disputed by the executive secretary of the Association of University Teachers, Mr R. A. Crozier. Mr Crozier questioned Mr Muldoon’s interpretation of “relevance” and said that university research underpinned whole areas of New Zealand national life. “Relevance is a long-term
concept and many subjects are of value oyer and above any considerations of immediate financial gain,” he said. “Similarly, whilst the results of university research will often be of direct commercial gain to the nation, other research may npt produce an immediate pay-off.” Mr Muldoon made his remarks during an address to the Institute of Management in Wellington on March 1.
