The University of Westminster Students’ Union
According to the Vice Chancellor of this University, not so long ago the Officers of the SU refused to meet with University Management. Today, the SU not only meet with them, work with them to create a better “student experience”, but completely ignore asking students themselves what they would like. The Officers spend the vast majority of their £19,000 worth of time behind a desk, in meetings and on expensive training, paid for by you. Do you ever see your “democratically elected” officers? Did you get much time to sit down with them and air your views so that they could represent them for you? Probably not.
I can and am changing this. I have spent over 70 hours every week trying to put in foundations for a Students’ Union who actually are able to do as they promise, as you ask. We’ll have campus reps to feed in information more efficiently, independent media run by students, and more social spaces than every before. Woo Hoo…right?
It all depends on who you vote in. This year we still had the Dragon Bar, we still have communal areas on campus, and we still have the Bar, Night Club and offices in Harrow…all under-utilised. Do you want someone who ran around to try and make use of all that is available, get people involved and put in the staffing structure to make sure that effort is sustained, as I have been doing? I have the experience, the proven ability to listen and adapt my ideas, and the determination to damn well make sure people have fun here and have the ability to have their “University Experience”.
What I will do for you next year
Work WITH the University AFTER Consulting students to provide more money for sports, entertainment and job opportunities – Regular, Professional Surveys
Get completely away from the office – replace our £30 mobile allowance with a PDA so that I can be out on campus talking to everyone, and be more responsive with communicating with you all
Give staff the respect to do their jobs without interference – and ensure they know that
Ensure the University’s major decisions (like the Academic Year Change) are COMMUNICATED to you as soon as possible, rather than at the last minute.
And most importantly, I’ll be honest with you, at all times
