Q for VPSS: what do you think is the number one issue facing students just right now - relevant to your role? #GUSRCElections
MM: Speaks from recent experience - the distance to campus, and accommodation. The lack of accommodation for students is a big issue for many students. Realised from speaking to students that many international students struggle with this. #GUSRCElections
MM wants to work with the SRC team to close this gap and work on this issue #GUSRCElections
BA: Accessibility - both physical and financial - the university should cater for everyone! All the buildings and resources should be for all students, making the uni safe and inclusive #GUSRCElections
BA: Cites that as part of the rector campaign they wanted to find buildings that were accessible and would not break the strike line - and could not find any #GUSRCElections
RS: participation and engagement - we do have issues getting students from disadvantaged backgrounds or with disabilities and retaining them #GUSRCElections
EM: The distance between students and specific services is an issue. Students feel disillusioned with the services on offer due to lack of awareness #GUSRCElections
RS: Cites the University Outcome Agreement target of 90% retention. Believes SRC has to push to make sure students are engaging with their courses but also extracurricular activities #GUSRCElections
