Auckland University of Technology has denied claims that the Pacific Media Centre is being sidelined.
The Centre's recently retired director David Robie has raised concern about the way AUT is handling the PM's leadership succession, as well as the removal of its physical office without a clear relocation.
It prompted an outcry among regional exponents of Pacific journalism.
