Narks In Our Classes!!!

Operatives for the New Zealand Police, at least one of which is kown to be enrolled at Otago University, have conducted undercover operations on campus including the surveillance and arrest of fellow students. These operations were conducted at the behest of Otago University officials and the motivation for these operations appears to be the suppression of a student political movement. Instead of taking a crime fighting approach and arresting all students involved in illegal activity, only vocal political leaders have been targeted.

Is there a Nark in your class?
