Pressure is mounting on the Otago medical school to front up to Māori and Pasifika about a proposal to cap admissions through the Māori Entry Pathway. 

One of the designers of this scheme says it was tabled with a sense of urgency, and with no input from Māori. 

The pathway currently has no limit and gives Māori preferential selection into medical school. 

Te Aniwa Hurihanganui has the story.
