If elected as Student president, I will campaign for:
Referendum
“Stirling’s Students’ Union should enter into a campaign alliance with trade unions representing Stirling’s University staff and the wider trade union movement. This is in order to oppose marketisation of higher education, build links to protect our tutors and student workers alike, and further increase the solidarity within our university for the trials ahead.
Mental health and wellbeing
With suicide rates increasing on a national basis and students feeling the pressures of university life and beyond, support within our university is essential in order to save lives. I will review the waiting times for Stirling university counselling appointments, advertise drop in sessions and fight for more resources be allocated to this area, which is of the highest importance.
Rent Campaign
Over the last few years, we have gained momentum and the university has heard us. We have made deals and shook hands. However, the fight is not over. We must always hold the university to account. The work of previous presidents should not be forgotten in this election but should be carried on. I intend to do this and move the fair rent campaign forward.
Open the doors
