money.
where is it?
where did you put it?
where is my money?
for the thesis that i wrote. i wrote a thesis on 'disability and equity' because apparently it is an area that they want people to work in, specifically. there are special scholarships for people working in the area. to incentivise people to work in the area.
only how that goes is they advertise that there are scholarships and in exchange for applying for a scholarship you give them your research proposal. which they then keep. and do not give you the scholarship. proceed to do their best to bully you out of completing your work or...
better idea... take the work you produce and refuse to credit / acknowledge you for the work that you did and... pass it off as their own.
where's my money?
the District Health Board Scholarship of $5,000 that was to go to a masters student working on an area of stated significance for them. Who did the money go to? Did it go to an actual person? Or did they take all the research proposals that were submitted to them and flunk out all those studnets keeping their work for themselves. Claiming to be the people with those ideas themselves.
Stealing.
Plagarising.
Where did the money go?
Where's my Degree?
For the thesis that I wrote. The one year of work that I did for you. Where's my Degree?
New Zealand has concentration camps that they like to call 'Universities'.
The international students were crucial for the legitimacy of them as universities. But our degrees are not acknowledged overseas anymore because we refuse to acknowledge and credit students for the work that they have done and we give credit and money and kudos to theiving plagarisers with no work capacity of their own.
On the basis of nepotism. Sucking up. Bribery.
That's how come we are so very very very far behind.
The race to the bottom.
Now we are filling the universities with domestic students. We enrol them in degrees we ourselves consider to be 'low value' to see how much money we can extract out of them before they are forced to work the NZL equivalent of the cotton fields. Early childhood education. Because NZL likes to breed masses of gamma babies. We don't need to worry about genocide of a race, here. We are happy to breed masses of gamma babies.
With respect to externamination of a culture things are less clear.
What we most have is... Appropriation. I think you call it.
A sort of a 'brave new world' with 'minitrue' and so on speech. That's what they are doing to the Maaori language. They say they are keeping it alive. But the academics are taking control of how it is. What the words mean. Etc. So there are certain thoughts that cannot be thunk etc. There's an element of that. Control. It's not an organic language anymore. It's an academic language, a language used by the powerful to opporess others. Certain people have speaking rights and they go on and on and on and on and then there is no time left.
And there is a narrative...
So a book comes out of Maaori academics. ANd they are all required to say teh same thing. That's what Otago University Press wants to hear from them (if they get to say anything at all). They all say that they are the only voice. They are all alone. They are the only voice.
And stuff abotu them picking and choosing the next leaders. For all the things that they value.
The ability to suck it up and go 'yes yes yes yes yes everything yo usay and think and feel is correct and true yes yes yes yes yes.'
Where is my degree?
They are having a tantrum that I didn't devote my entire life to saying what my supervisor tells me to say only until I"ve figured a way to have her murdered in her sleep which means I get to inherit her job.
That appears to be the seems of it.
Why we are happy to have life expectancy kept low.
