Taratahi buys Telford campus

Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre will take over Lincoln University’s Telford Division, near Balclutha, on Monday. The Government said on Wednesday it had given land consents to allow Wairarapa-based Taratahi to buy the Telford campus. Lincoln University vice-chancellor Robin Pollard said Lincoln would remain the tertiary provider until the end of this year, with the university qualifications continuing until the transition was completed.
