Reducing Racial Imbalance In New Zealand Universities and Professions

Behavioural Sciences University of Otago

Maoris, indigenous New Zealanders of Polynesian origin, are greatly under-represented in universities and professions in New Zealand and are over-represented in morbidity, mortality, and crime. This paper examines the current level of Maori participation in higher education in an historical context. The process of correcting ethnic imbalance is explored, examples are presented of individual, institutional, and self- help efforts, and responses to them. Problems faced by researchers in this area are also discussed.
