pontificating from around the corner

My interpretation of VUW's decisions about funding was that they essentially plan to dismantle the conservatory aspects of the NZSM and replace it with a more generic US college-style 'music' paper. That's why I said 'split priorities' - the Town Hall idea was the opposite idea, which was doubling down on the NZSM as a music conservatory. The guts of it: a lot more post-grad musicologists and composers, and far fewer

performers. - To VUW: I will not collaborate with you. I may have a good script, but I do not wish to promote you as an institution. That's me saying no. I'm proudly indie, though it'd be nice if NZ on Air or someone wanted to fund my documentary ideas. Next time, pay me upfront rather than sort-of expecting I'd come to you because I used your name in the script - as I clearly stated, I was more than willing to use other locations.
