Athlete in halls
Rawiri Piahana made this Official Information request to Victoria University of Wellington
The request was successful.
From: Rawiri Piahana
Dear Victoria University of Wellington,
I am writing to request information about "athlete" floors and areas in halls for students at the University in 2020.
May I please request an answer to the following;
- Which halls have plans and special areas for athletes (including mountain bikers) in Halls and what these special areas are? (floor, special rooms etc)
-- Te Puni Village has an athlete's floor? I was unable to find any information on this, where can I find information?
-- Helen Lowry Hall appears to have a plan for Mountain Biking? How did this come about, and what was the University's involvement?
- Are these "athletes" charged the same rate as non "athletes" when in halls?
- Do these athletes in Halls receive any extra services compared to other students in Halls and if so what are they and how is it funded?
-- I am told that Te Puni Village has extra fridges for "athletes", is this true?
I am doing an article and I am trying to understand how and what is happening in Halls in relation to "athletes", what the purpose of this concept is, and how it is being funded.
Yours faithfully,
Rawiri Piahana

It is interesting that the University via is Recreation centre is giving extra funding specifically for a small group of athletes. I would suggest that this should be being funded by the University itself.
Giving the more privileged students a leg up, in my opinion, should not be an area of priority funding by the Studnet services levy.
