The Education Minister is under increasing pressure to order a wide ranging review into systemic and causal racism at universities and polytechs.

Thirty- six Māori professors are demanding action after high profile staff publicly called out racist treatment at Waikato University.

Now Māori tertiary students have joined in but the Minister, Chris Hipkins is yet to respond.
