Just want to find out if anyone has dealt with the OIA.
What are peoples impression regarding dealing with this organisation.

From my experience I feel they are not fit for purpose and should be closed down as an institution.

I have spoken to few people about this and they also agree that this institute seems to be inherently bias against students.

I just want to know other people s thoughts and experiences, no need to get into great detail?
 
How's he posting crap? The answer to who the oia are is literally the first Google result and as he said, if you don't know who they are you can't help so it's irrelevant.

I dealt with them when I was at uni and found them to be totally crap. I'd missed a large part of my course due to illness and despite scoring higher on every exam was awarded a lower mark then someone else I was friends with (And some other students too).
I appealed to the uni and basically got 'blame your course leader'. So I went to the OIA and whilst they agreed it wasn't right they did nothing.

A few people is hardly a large enough sample pool to conclude that they are bias against all students. If you are really bothered by it you can always complain to the CPG or the AFT, heck if they are as biased as you say they are you could report them to NFTC.

Are you assuming my location? ;) It might in the UK but the UK isn't the world and when inviting opinion like the OP is, it's not unreasonable to explain what you're inviting upon on.

e: first google result:

The Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) helps New Zealand Citizens, permanent residents and anyone in New Zealand access information held by Government organisations and Ministers. This promotes openness and transparency and enables greater public participation in government..

They are an absolute disgrace, me and a couple of others had dealings with them.
Even the university admitted DPA breaches, evidence tampering, misleading students and hampering students from improving their grade but they wouldnt admit our work was passed onto other students to help them get a pass. instead they fabricated evidence to make it appear as if the other students were part of our group.
We pointed everything out to the OIA including the fabricating evidence and showed them the mismatching dates proving the evidence was fake.....OIA said they feel the university was justified in its actions.

normal solicitors had advised using a firm that specialised in taking on universities and the cheapest one wanted 2.5k just to start...so we were left with OIA.
