The Government has almost exclusively ignored us, and despite the hard work of staff and lecturers, higher education is struggling to offer the experience students were both promised and so deserve. As your Students’ Union, we understand what you are going through. We are here to support you, and your elected representatives are here to make sure your voice is heard. Students deserve better. That’s why we are fighting for fair treatment for you in all areas of your student experience. National Campaigning and Lobbying On a national level, we are pressuring the Government to urgently address the devastating impact of COVID and continued lockdowns and restrictions on university students. Your President, Conor Naughton, has written a joint letter with thirty other Students’ Union Presidents to Gavin Williamson, Secretary of State for Education, and Michelle Donegan, Minister of State for Universities urging them to: Take university students’ struggles seriously Implement universal academic protections Subsidise rent for those not able to return to their accommodation Give students the digital provision they need to learn Reconsider tuition fees entirely taking into account the Augar report findings READ THE FULL LETTER HERE You can support this work by writing to your own MP wherever you live in the UK. In October and December your President, Conor, and VP Opportunities, Cameron, attended two emergency All-party Parliamentary Group meetings for students where they raised student issues on tuition fees, access to necessary digital equipment for online learning, and improved mental health support for students up and down the UK. In January 2021, Conor was a panel member on a live event with Nadia Whitmore, Member of Parliament for Nottingham East, discussing lockdowns and university.
