Waikato misses out

M. King

A delegation from the University of Waikato made submissions earlier this month to the University Grants Committee for the establishment of a School of Management in Hamilton.

The Registrar of the University, Mr N. Kingsbury said the Waikato University Council had originallv been' told by the UGC that existing facilities for management courses were adequate.

"The Waikato Council does not accept this." he said.

He pointed out that such courses were available at Victoria and Canterbury Universities only.

Mr Kingsbury said it was important to train competent administrators for local bodies, government departments and private business. but the northern part of the North Island was not equipped to do this.

The UGC received the Waikato delegation sympathetically, Mr Kingsbury said, and the Waikato Council was making investigations for further submissions.
