PC AT SIT (Southern Institute of Technology) While SIT has done many great things for Invercargill, its cultural correctness defies belief. In a recent position vacancy advertisement for a Social Services Tutor, it referred to wanting someone with experience in ‘‘social work/social services work with Maori family/whanau, Pasifika, disability and mental health sectors’’. This is the norm for social work.
But then it added the experience of ‘‘working with oppressed marginalised groups within Aotearoa New Zealand’’.
Having worked in social services with many groups for more than 20 years, I wonder who these ‘‘oppressed marginalised groups’’ are, other than those in the mental health field. Surely this is not a byproduct of the tripe echoed by some of those in the Treaty of Waitangi claim arena who after 170 years and countless Treaty settlements are still claiming oppression ?
And finally, I thought an educational institute like SIT would be well versed in our country’s name, which is New Zealand, not Aotearoa New Zealand. N C Otatara
