Otago University students protest proctor's 'bongshell' actions
Exams may be looming for University of
Otago students, but pens were down as they marched over the proctor's
bong confiscations this afternoon.
Third-year student Bayleigh Poole said students needed to be treated as adults, not naughty kids, and they deserved respect.
"There's no line between where his jurisdiction is off campus and I think that's why we're here to define that and set those boundaries," Ms Poole said.
Vice chancellor Harlene Hayne said the proctor's powers were already well-defined by existing policy and law.
The university said it was open to meeting with students to discuss their concerns.
