voluntary membership in a nutshell

So what's this all about?

In short, this blog and student choice promote voluntary membership of tertiary students associations in New Zealand.

student choice believes in freedom of association and don't believe anyone should be forced to join a student association before they can enrol in a New Zealand tertiary institution.

We'll put forward the arguments in favour of voluntary membership and challenge the reasons put forward for compulsory membership.

We'll also highlight the flaws and problems - both past and present - of compulsory membership.

And we intend to have a bit of fun along the way.
