Council rep diary

without comments

This week, election results came in and I’ve been re-elected for another year as a General Representative Council. Thank you to all those who voted.

On Wednesday, myself and Trevor Dallimore-Wright (Disabled Students Officer) met with a representative from Birkbeck East, Stratford Campus to have a look at provisions for students.

On Thursday, myself, Sean Rillo (Chair of Council) and Rob Park (Caring Responsibilities Officer & Student Governor) met with Mousa Baraka from London Citizens concerning getting ULU to sign up to the London Living Wage.

On Saturday, I joined a few students and staff on the Put People First! rally.

I'll leave it to the reader to decide if I agree with the final line...

A memoranda to the IUSS Select Committee hearing on Students and Universities is currently being written, and we hope to make a final copy available later this week.

On our mailing lists, I’ve been quite interested in voting systems, after some calls to switch back from Single Transferable Vote to First-Past-the-Post, a move I would consider rather short-sighted and disastrous in the long run.
