University of Waikato takes a public stand against the Forced Swim Test

The University of Waikato has taken a public stand against the Forced Swim Test, the first New Zealand university to do so.

It set a precedent. A year later, Victoria University of Wellington followed. Momentum like this is how a method falls out of use: one institution shows it can be done, and the rest have a path to follow.

This is the alliance model working as intended, researchers and advocates moving in the same direction.
