Don Brash, leader of the National Party in NZ, has stated that should his party come to power that he will withdrawal funding from universities that run entry schemes for Maori students. He is really on a roll with his race-baiting; odd considering when he was governor of the Reserve Bank he instigated a Maori scholarship scheme.
You will note though that discrimination on favour of rural students is acceptable to him.
From the University of Auckland Medical School website:

... the Faculty offers two special entry quotas:

* Maori and Pacific Admissions Scheme (MAPAS)
* Rural Origin Medical Preferential Entry scheme (ROMPE)

But there's no political mileage to be made with baiting the rural folk.
