USP students demand the removal of registrar

Students at the University of the South Pacific are up in arms with the institution’s management, demanding the removal of its registrar, Walter Fraser.

Students Association President, Ilifeleti Tobo told Pacnews that his members are ‘unhappy with interferences from Mr Fraser on their on campus activities.’

“He has been very un-cooperative with us, blocking alot of our activities, thus the two weeks notice for him to step down.

“The letter was sent last week and the deadline will be this Sunday, 24 March.” Tobo added.

He said if nothing favourable is received by the end of the deadline, ‘students will protest.’

“For now, our membership plans to march to the USP Administration office to make our demands.” Tobo claims the registrar has victimised the student body because the new executives refused to allow the use of students fund to pay for this year’s orientation day programme.

“We’ve had clashes with the management after this decision. This was followed with stringent regulations imposed on students activities on campus.

“One of the examples was the regulation now imposed on students to get entry cards for the use of swimming pool. Also, security guards have been told to strictly clamp down on drinking grog and other cultural activities on campus,” Tobo said.

Pacnews attempted to get comments from Mr Fraser’s office but was directed to email questions to the Publicity and Marketing Officer, Andrea Waqa. Ms Waqa informed to expect a response later today.
