The Human Rights Commission has released its findings into a Massey University lecturer, whose research called Pacific Islanders an underclass and underachievers.
It has found Dr Greg Clydesdale's research had a lack of evidence and that the University he works for, Massey University has also failed.
"There's a historical precedent here for Polynesians to have free intake to this country and that's got to stop I'm sorry, it's got to end," said Clydesdale during an interview with the Pacific Island Media Association.
Clydesdale's research and resulting comments have caused widespread anger.
"This is not a good piece of academic research," says Race Relations Commissioner Joris de Bres.
The review has found Clydesdale's research is not up to standard and uses out of date statistics.
There have also been complaints about Massey University's hands off approach.
"They expect Massey to do something about it," says de Bres.
The Ministry of Pacific Affairs has made a formal complaint to the university.
"We've had a response from that institution but I think it is unsatisfactory," says Minister of Pacific Island Affairs Colin Tukuitonga.
Massey University has started its own inquiry into Clydesdale's research but dismisses any criticism of how it has handled the matter.
"If you look at our policy on responsible behaviour then I think all our practises are more than adequate to deal with any situation the university faces," says acting Vice Chancellor Ian Warrington.
If the university finds Clydesdale guilty of serious misconduct he could face dismissal.
