NZUSA is committed to the principles of the
Treaty of Waitangi and recognises Te Mana Akonga as the parallel,
autonomous Maori Students' Association, which represents Maori tertiary
students. NZUSA recognises that the Tertiary Women's Focus Group (TWFG)
as a forum for women students to determine policy and represent women,
independently of NZUSA.
