Stop cuts to languages at Victoria University of Wellington.

[Хей, герой! @VicLanguageCuts]

Final outcome of change proposal: all staff cuts still going ahead. 125 written subs, 12 oral subs, 2000+ petition signatures irrelevant.

#VicUniWgtn students, note that you can also file academic grievances about "a decision made by university staff": https://t.co/vFPBTo9J80

Try Maori Made Easy - 30 minutes a day for 30 weeks, find a copy of this book in the LLC library https://t.co/7zCRvF3SnY @MaoriLanguages

A tragic loss. The decision panel may have felt there was no other choice, but there is always a choice. https://t.co/H333p0yKPX

@VicLanguageCuts @VicUniWgtn but the university should know there will be a fight 4 staff, no matter how small a timeframe given to do so.

[Lars Thompson @ThompsonLars]

@VicLanguageCuts @VicUniWgtn This will not be the last time we shall have to fight this fight I fear

[Хей, герой! @VicLanguageCuts]

@ThompsonLars @VicUniWgtn It is on VUW's Wikipedia page! But yes, okay.

This article applies equally here in NZ as in the UK and US. Kiwis need to learn foreign languages to remain internationally competitive. https://t.co/YF3XsxINHv

@TinaMakereti 6 mths notice; most will teach till end of T1 (quarter-heartedly?). German tutor contracted till end of the year.

[Хей, герой! @VicLanguageCuts]

@TinaMakereti two 'voluntary' resignations, the rest fired. Very good staff, some of whom have been with VUW for 10 or 20+ years

This concludes the narration of language cuts at @VicUniWgtn. The account will remain up for reading purposes for another week.

Once we were enemy aliens. At the start of WWII Italians male residents in NZ were detained in Matiu-Somes Island in Wellington's bay

@LeilaniTamu it's from Ecclesiastes (1:18) in the Bible. 12:12 is also good...

@HadleyDonaldson @fastercamels also, https://t.co/lH4mBnNPhb not practical at all

[The Irish For @theirishfor]

The Irish word for Klingon, 'Tliongánach', is derived from the Klingon word 'tlhIngan', which means Klingon.

@dashaisms discounts used to be given to CSC holders. LC has photo so assume they wanted poor ppl to stop lending cards to rich friends (!!)

@HadleyDonaldson @fastercamels is it Ian Athfield? I would definitely live in it, this is exactly the kind of house I'm interested in
