Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board 16 November 2021 |
|
Chair Apulu Reece Autagavaia opened the meeting in karakia.
There were no declarations of interest.

Resolution number OP/2021/166 MOVED by Chairperson R Autagavaia, seconded by Member R Robertson: That the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board: a) confirm the ordinary minutes of its meeting, held on Tuesday, 19 October 2021, as true and correct. |
There were no leaves of absence.
AUT has appointed a new vice-chancellor, Dr Damon Salesa. Salesa, who is of Samoan descent, is the first ever Pasifika vice-chancellor appointed at a New Zealand university.
Salesa is the current pro-vice-chancellor Pacific at Auckland University, where he has also served as co-head of Te Wānanga o Waipapa (School of Māori Studies and Pacific Studies). He also worked at the University of Michigan for 10 years, where he was the director of the Asian Pacific Islander American Studies programme. He is a former Rhodes Scholar and the author and editor of books such as Island Time: New Zealand's Pacific Futures and Racial Crossings: Race, Intermarriage, and the Victorian British Empire. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.
Damon’s late father, Chris, was a key member and Champion player at the East Tamaki Bowling Club. Chris was also a Foreman at Fisher & Paykel for many years until his retirement.
Damon is currently the Chair of the Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate Board of Trustees, and was instrumental in setting up the University of Auckland South Campus located next door to our Manukau Kotuku Council building.
Damon’s wife, Hon Jenny Salesa, is the local MP for Panmure-Otahuhu - her electorate includes much of our local board area. Damon continues to inspire other young Pasifika academics – we wholeheartedly congratulate him and his family on this historical appointment.
