Nominations close this week for the 2016 Officer Elections. Feel strongly about undergraduate or postgraduate education? Passionate about student welfare & campaigns, or the way the SU is run? Want to oversee our Sports & Societies departments, or ever thought you could be SU President? If you’ve ever thought there’s something which could be improved about the SU, University or overall Warwick experience, this is your chance to run for a full-time Sabbatical or Part-Time Officer position here at the SU - the nominations deadline is 12pm Noon on Wednesday 17th February.
In other news, many staff and students have rightly condemned the recent decision to award outgoing Vice-Chancellor Nigel Thrift a parting ‘gift’ amounting to £92,000. At a time when staff wages are being frozen, services are being reduced due to a supposed “lack of funds” and postgraduate tutors still fail to earn a living wage, we consider this a grotesque insult. Please see below to read our statement and sign the petition set up by the Sabbatical Officer team to demand an investigation and apology!
