A plaque marking the merger of Lincoln University and Telford
Rural Polytechnic was unveiled by the Deputy Prime Minister
and MP for Clutha-Southland, Bill English, yesterday morning.
The Tertiary Education
Union is surprised it was not included earlier in discussions
surrounding the proposed merger of Telford Rural Polytechnic
and Lincoln University.
Telford Rural Polytechnic is considering merging with
Canterbury's Lincoln University, as the tertiary shake-up and
funding cuts squeeze the Balclutha institution.
