Scholarship future worries student activist
June 01, 2014

TAMANIRARAMA Jone hopes his iTaukei Affairs Board scholarship will be reinstated so he can sit for his final exams for semester one this month. The 21-year-old second year Bachelor of Commerce student of the University of the South Pacific had his scholarship terminated for what he says is his involvement in a political activity. He said he was only exercising his political right when he joined Roshiko Deo's political activity. "I don't see any violation or any wrong doing of my involvement in Roshika Deo's 'Be the Change Campaign' as I was clearly just exercising my political right," Mr Jone said. "All I ask at this moment is for the re-instating of my scholarship." He said he decided to reveal his identity because he had just finished sitting for a test for one of his compulsory units. "I have just finished a test paper and I wanted to concentrate on that. "I feared that if I had revealed my identity up-front I would be victimised. "I have no idea whether I will be able to sit for my finals in June since my termination letter mentioned that I had been terminated as from semester one." Mr Jone, who is from Ra, said he was frustrated with the development, adding it had affected his studies greatly. "This termination has affected my studies and my concentration at the moment. However with all the support I am getting, I am trying to lift my head up high and I am just trying to take each day as it comes." TSLB chairman Dixon Seeto said once a scholarship was handed out, the board and the student signed a confidentiality agreement that prevented each party from discussing the issue with other people. However, he added the board would administer all rules and requirements that were outlined by a contract signed by each party. The board chairman said if one of the parties was found to be in breach of the contract then action would be taken.

Fijileaks Editor: Dixon Seeto had no hesitation in taking up various illegal appointments doled out to him by the treasonous dictator Frank Bainimarama. US Ambassador Larry Dinger to Washington: "Seeto said an RFMF press release two weeks ago saying there would be no coup was marginally helpful, but bookings will only pick up when there is a "positive signal" that the crisis is past. He is not optimistic for that anytime soon. Asked if laid-off employees are blaming the hotels, Seeto said: no, they realize the RFMF is to blame." http://www.fijileaks.com/home/dixon-seeto-puts-his-head-above-the-parapet-no-longer-afraid-of-the-fate-of-his-small-chinese-community-in-frank-bainimaramas-post-coup-fiji

Down with tyrant VC Rajesh Chandra
3/6/2014 04:39:48 am

The only way to improve things at USP is for students to get together and kick out their wimp of a vice chancellor, Professor Rajesh Chandra, who has made a mockery of academic freedom an is now actively participating in the persecution of innocent students by the regime. The time for action is now.

University decision makers are qualified to understand their responsibilities to the stranded student.

If a student has for some unforseen circumstance in the middle of the semester developed any situation beyond his control, university should utilise their fundings to ensure the student is provided necessary tools to complete that semesters work.

Following that the student can take student loan to complete the rest of the course duration.

In NZ, the AUT had provided our refugee camp's overseas student full scholarship when he got stranded with fee issues outside the known situation created by another NZ government agency.

He was not only provided with free fees to complete the 3 remaining semesters for Diploma for FREE, but also completed his Accounting Degree fopr FREE as we the Fiji Human Rights Group in NZ appealed to AUT. This was during 2002 - 2005 years.

Now if USP is teaching free speech and other student sof the school are not penalised as a policy matter, then please follow the footsteps of AUT as you do get extra fundings to cater for such circumstances as this case too, is caused by another government agency where the student is not at fault.
