Have Victoria University students effectively been given a hall pass that gets them out of face to face lectures?
After Covid restrictions were dropped the University announced some students and courses would require students to physically turn up to lectures again.
But the Victoria University of Wellington Students' Association felt a blanket face to face policy would disadvantage a significant chunk of them, including those needing to work to fund their studies and people with mobility issues or family commitments.
Now the university has adopted a new policy that means staff must record lectures in rooms with the equipment to do so or provide other appropriate materials to student.
But it says the recordings are not a replacement for in class learning.
