Otago university medical students fight proposal to limit Māori entry pathway

From Morning Report, 7:55 am on 24 August 2020

Students at Otago are fighting a proposal from the university to limit the number of medical school admissions for Māori students through its Māori entry pathway.

The pathway - which currently has no limit - was designed to boost the number of Māori in the health work force. 

RNZ understands the cap could be 56 students a year, and even less for other minority entry pathways.
