Newly-elected Otago University Students’ Association president Liam White says he too would have abstained on the vote to increase tuition fees.
His comments come after the decision of his predecessor, Keegan Wells, to abstain on the university council vote to increase student tuition fees by 6% for next year.
She was the only person on the council not to vote in favour of the measures.
Asked what he would have done in the same situation, Mr White told the Otago Daily Times that he thought "Keegan made the right choice, to be honest".
