    I heart John Hunt; what a good man.

    I’m leaving this school with a broken heart… everytime I read another article on the ‘management’ issues, my heart shatters. I really miss the term “SoA” (School of Architecture) and all the lectureres who have inspired me but have now disappeared…
    Kerry Morrow, Jules Maloney, Ross Jenner, Koung Nyugent, Rewi Thompson, Charles Walker, Robert & Brenda Vale, Kit Kuttle, Hayden Willey, Errol Haarhoff, Peggy Deamer…etc

    The cause of this whole chaos is obvious and thanks to Prof. John Hunt who have pointed out so bluntly.

    This doesn’t sound good for us at all. At least it’ll be quiet next year on level four.

    Finally, a line in the sand / DPC.
    Sound applause for Professor Hunt and Pip Cheshire, & a hearty back-slap to Peggy Deamer; this situation has been brewing for far too long and frankly, it\’s just not cricket. Students sink extraordinary sums of money in the pursuit of higher education and the corruption of their qualifications - surely the worst form of carrot/stick - schtick an education provider may proffer - at the hands of recalcitrant, bullish and ill-advised dullards does not sound reputation, make.

    Note to Sharman Pretty, Stuart McCutcheon, Raewyn Dalziel et al -

    NICAI is a turd that will offer no lustre no matter how hard you polish.
    Own that dream.

    Good to see a staff member with the balls to speak out at last …

    Death To The NICAI !!!

    I only wish the metro photographer had taken that photo of John with the hundreds of students that feel the same way.

    Shaman needs to go (i’d say ‘home’ to Sydney, but they don’t want her back either).

    What a great parting shot from John Hunt. He deserves our resounding applause for saying what we are all thinking.

    Especially since the other professors at the school, Jenny Dixon and Errol Haarhoff, find it impossible to say anything other than “Yes Lord Pretty, thy bidding shall be done”. These two people are supposed to be the people at this school to champion free thinking.

    Its about time Errol and Jenny stood with John in calling for shaman’s head on a pike.

    Careful on how loud that applause for Pip Cheshire is. His comments regarding the place that planning holds are based on shaky and bias feelings (First column p. 92). As the world gets more complicated the need for planning will only grow. Should we say that transit orientated land use should not be required to help combat climate change and encourage stronger communities? In this instance it is the work of planners that are gearing these new settlements for the future. I suggest that Cheshire think past the small amount of time and money he had to expend on his last project’s resource consent before he bemoans the entire profession.
