Recently we welcomed a wonderful new addition to the City Campus, the Tūtahi Tonu wharenui in B113, which has officially re-opened and been gifted a new name, Ngā Tauira marae, by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei. Previously located at Epsom Campus, the marae recognises the rich history of the Faculty of Education and Social Work and provides additional cultural spaces for teaching and learning and in supporting staff and students to come together.

Collective bargaining Negotiations for the renewal of collective employment agreements for Academic, Professional and Security & Gardeners staff began last month. This week, the University presented its general revision pay offer. The University has prioritised a general revision offer that recognises continuing cost-of-living pressures. Further details of this offer and a full list of claims from the unions and University can be found on our Notice pageshttps://www.staff.auckland.ac.nz/en/news-events-and-notices/notices/notices-2024/quarter-3/bargaining-for-collective-agreements-2024.html. This page will be regularly updated as negotiations progress.
