Lincoln University

A student at Lincoln University was found dead in the halls of residence on the first day of the new semester on Monday.

University of Canterbury director of student wellbeing Gilbert Taurua said the university made early changes in compliance with the interim code. We have an opportunity to become a national park city. Our ever-changing region has many exigent stories to tell. By 2023 nearly 300 university staff will have completed the programme. “The changes included increased measures for care across all ten UC affiliated student accommodation halls of residence. Police were unable to comment on how long she may have been dead before her body was found.

Students said they were "shocked" to hear about the death, but felt they had been well-supported by the university during their stay in the halls.

Until that happens, our institutions are still falling short of the standards that were required to be in place seven months ago,” Swarbrick said. We are continuing to support the grieving parents and family of the student.” We have an opportunity to become a national park city. Our ever-changing region has many exigent stories to tell. By 2023 nearly 300 university staff will have completed the programme. “It was a shock to hear about what happened. A Victoria University of Wellington spokesperson said the university had made “significant efforts” to implement the code. “We are not complacent and continue to listen to our student body who we meet with weekly, and work to improve our services, in line with the Code of Practice.” Police were unable to comment on how long she may have been dead before her body was found. “The vast majority of the code relates to things the university already had in place, including in our residential colleges and in the support of international students, and has in most cases been done for many years.” Earlier the statutory body representing the country’s universities “categorically” rejected that none of New Zealand’s universities had implemented the Pastoral Care Code following the death of a student in Canterbury. Semester 2 began on Monday.

"The safety and wellbeing of our students are paramount to New Zealand's eight universities and our thoughts are very much with the family and friends of the student who has died." Universities NZ chief executive Chris Whelan rejected the claims that none of the universities has implemented the pastoral care code. "It is disappointing, this is a process in which time and again we are seeing students and their welfare and their wellbeing have consistently been put on the back burner, and we have been told due to the likes of the pandemic that we have to have delays in the implementation in what I believe most people would assume are really core fundamentals around the wellbeing of students in tertiary education," Swarbrick said. And in response to the death of the student, she continued to question why none of the eight universities has fully implemented the pastoral care code. The code was expanded after another student, Mason Pendrous, was found dead in his room at Sonoda Village at the University of Canterbury in September 2019.
