The Government says it's heard the tertiary education sector's concerns- and is pledging $128 million dollars to providers.
It's split over the next two years, and will increase tuition subsidies an extra 4 percent at degree-level and above.
Finance Minister Grant Robertson is adamant this support package for universities is not a bailout.
ZB Chief Political Reporter Aaron Dahmen says there's still lingering questions about how the Government and these academic institutions got to this point.
