Show Notes

Auckland University's completely ruled out refunds for its now-scrapped compulsory Treaty and Māori culture courses. 

The university's making the courses optional from next year but won't refund students who were required to complete it in the first semester of this year. 

The courses cost almost six thousand dollars for international students, and one thousand for domestic students. 

Act Leader David Seymour told Mike Hosking his party's continuing to call on the university to give the money back. 

He says they could refund students through a credit for future courses, rather than as a cash refund.
