Democracy Review
We are very pleased to share with you our democracy review consultation found at the link here. Your perspective on this is very important to us. We have been in Transformation for the past 7 months - during this time, we have spoken with hundreds of student representatives; we have listened to their aspirations for the Students’ Union and crucially where they think the Students’ Union has failed in the past. We have listened, and we are ready to change.
To us, this is more than just a review of our democratic processes. The outcome of this consultation will redefine the Students’ Union’s purpose and overall structure – we hope it will be the beginning of a new and exciting version of the Students’ Union which is fit for purpose for our uniquely collegiate university.
Alongside asking for feedback on all of the proposals, we’re asking students to pick one of three options - each one offering a different focus and a different approach to student engagement and leadership. We know that many of you will have questions about the details and the bye-laws – the bye-laws will come later in Hilary once an overarching decision has been made, and you’ll have a chance to input again next term.
This is truly a consultation – the Sabbatical Officers, Trustee Board and the Transformation Committee and staff team are excited to hear what students want from the Students’ Union going forward.
If you have any comments you would like to make you can email studentengagement@oxfordsu.ox.ac.uk. If you would like to send more detailed feedback directly into the consultation you can do this through our all student survey here. The all student survey will be open until Friday of Week 8.
