The battle over a controversial proposal to fold Auckland University's 140-year-old law school in with its business faculty has taken another turn - with the University canning a deciding vote on Monday.
The merger of the schools was proposed in November last year, and met with widespread criticism from alumni, staff and the wider legal sector.
The university now says it is ‘taking more time to consider all options for the proposed new faculty arrangements for Business and Economics, Law'.

Also joining the conversation is Will Dalzell, who is in his final year of law at Auckland University – and former president of the Law Students' Society.
