THE chief executive of embattled Otago Polytechnic is leaving the organisation. Megan Po ¯tiki’s departure was confirmed yesterday by new Otago Polytechnic Council chairman John Gallaher. ‘‘Together with my fellow council members, I would like to sincerely thank Megan for her dedication and commitment to Otago Polytechnic and for the work she has undertaken to steer the organisation back to a more viable and sustainable position,’’ he said. Otago Polytechnic is going through a range of restructuring to address a $10 million deficit. On Tuesday, Vocational Education Minister Penny Simmonds announced the membership of the new council, which replaces an establishment advisory group which made ‘‘in principle’’ decisions ahead of the polytechnic’s return to autonomy next year. It will be part of a new federation, anchored by the Open Polytechnic of New Zealand and including the Universal College Of Learning. Mr Gallaher said the group had begun the recruitment process for a chief executive of the ‘‘new standalone entity of Otago Polytechnic’’. An announcement on the role was expected next week.

The FUCKERS - they drove Megan out. Megan was invaluable to Otago Polytech, this Govt is INSANE #NZPol
