在新西兰
The tertiary education minister, Steven Joyce, wants to remove the democratically elected student, staff and community representatives from the governing councils of universities and wānanga. The Ministry of Education is consulting on this proposal until 12 November 2013. We want as many students, staff and community members to let the minister know he cannot take away our voice and replace it with a council dominated by his own appointees. We believe that New Zealanders should preserve the autonomy, integrity and independence of university and wānanga councils by retaining their democratically elected staff, student and community representation. The minister’s proposed model of governance is not appropriate for universities, wānanga or polytechnics, or for the promotion of academic freedom.
高等教育大臣Steven Joyce希望去除紐西蘭所有的大學中經由民主選舉出來的在governing council之中的學生和教職員工、以及社區代表。教育部已經將這個提議排入了公眾諮詢階段了，一直持續到2013年11月12日。我們希望所有的學生，教職員工以及社區成員能夠讓這位大臣知道大學理事會裡面不能只有他指派的人可以州官放火，而不許百姓點燈。這個大臣所建議大學管理模式在新西蘭的大學、wananga或者是理工學院是行不通的。學術自由必須得到保護。參考詳細信息請登陸http://academicvoice.org/ （由紐西蘭學生聯合會、高等教育工會製作）

btw，鑑於這種文章是針對所有人的，必須選擇主題分類的做法在這裡實在是太愚蠢了..
