Who is this association for?
The RTEA is primarily for students within the University of Auckland studying a discipline within the School of Environment. However, students from outside the faculty, but still within the UoA, taking an environmental course are more than welcome to being a member.
What is the RTEA's discrimination policy?
The RTEA complies with all UoA policies regarding bullying and discrimination, and has a zero tolerance for both. If any emotional or physical abuse occurs within the club an impartial board, in the case of misconduct by a committee member, will decide whether or not more action is needed and the case may be forwarded on to a more formal university hearing. If the case is minor, the committee will determine the outcome for the members involved. Most-likely disbandment from the club.
