Students are isolated, poorer, and more vulnerable than ever. Representation exists because Universities have failed to protect student welfare, and the COVID-19 response and recent ICAC investigation shows now is no different.
So, is it acceptable that the SRC:
- Silences students and side with the University when times get tough?
- Has no interest in being held accountable?
- Opposes student clubs and societies?
I’m running for SRC General Councillor as part of the UNITE team because I believe student representatives should not leave students behind.
This year our team supported:
- Exam Welfare Packs
- Mandatory Sexual Assault and Disclosure training for all representatives
- Your right to vote online
- Support for the Women’s Collective demands to stop sexual assault and harassment on campus.
Our plan for next year:
- Expand Welfare Packs
- Revive student culture: Fee Waivers for Club stalls and accessible club grants
- Respect student communities' right to exist (Affiliating the Women’s Collective and Pro-Choice Club to the AUU)
- ICAC Response: review assault handling and transparent annual reporting
- Accessible SRC advocacy on University Committees
- Transparent AUU meetings (no more hiding behind in-camera meetings)
Our team care about your education and student culture. VOTE for the entire UNITE team on the AUU & SRC
