OUSA said “fuck it, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”
Otago University Student’s Association (OUSA) is converting the space above University Book Shop, on Great King Street, into six separate apartments.
A resource consent from the DCC showed that OUSA will build three two-bedroom apartments and three one-bedroom apartments in the space. Pretty much every student critic spoke to was pissed about this.
One student was “annoyed” by the move. “This is the first time I’ve heard of OUSA actually doing something and it’s potentially in conflict with my interests.” Another said “I think they should spend the money we give them on our interests rather than their own.”
