National Director Raheem Kassam meets Councillor Steven Ricketts
Those who follow Student Rights will know that often we write about disruptions and disputes on UK campuses. Recently, our pieces have featured controversial and divisive issues, but today we hope that the bulk of our readers can join us in congratulating the University of Plymouth, as one of many, whose Student Unions are focusing on the true, student-related issues.
The AGM Facebook group lists discussions that will take place in the meeting including the closure of the bar, beauty pageants, climate change reactions, part-time student representation and free Wednesday afternoons. Councillor for the University ward (Drake) Steve Ricketts has commented,
“It’s truly fantastic that the Student Union is focussing on student welfare issues and succeeding in making the higher education experience pleasant and rewarding for Plymouth students. As Councillor for Drake ward, which is covered by the university campus, I am always looking to ensure my constituents are properly looked after. I’m looking forward to the outcome of the AGM.”
The motions as presented to us by an SU officer at the university are described informally as;
1. The creation of a placements officer
2. Encouraging greater provision of free drinking water across the campus (water fountains)
3. NUS hustings
4. Financial reports
We’ll bring you AGM results as they come in…
