The AGM – ideas ranking

0
0

Although you could see how it was progressing throughout the day, we have the results of the AGM polling. This is a new system that we tried for the first time this year, and I’m incredibly happy with how many of you took part.

  • 28 ideas submitted
  • 350 students polling with a total of over 5000 votes in just 24 hours.
For those interested: the ranking of ideas was based around the difference between votes for and against multiplied by the sum of for and against as a proportion of all votes

 

Here is the ranking:

1 Should SUSU keep facilities costs for student groups to a minimum?
2 Should SUSU create a student-led committee to run Friday Nights at the Cube? 
3 Should SUSU ensure more money for societies?
4 Should SUSU increase the Athletic Union and Society budgets?
5 Should SUSU improve its range of healthy food options in its outlets?
6 Should SUSU renovate the Activities Room? 
7 Should SUSU mandate student groups to send representatives to the SUSU AGM?
8 Should SUSU create a statue for our cat?
9 Should SUSU improve its vegan and vegetarian options in its outlets?
10 Should SUSU lobby the University to enforce the smoking ban more stringently on campus?
11 Should SUSU move Student Leader elections to the Summer Term?
12 Should SUSU address gender inequality in officer teams?

The rest of the ideas received more votes to ‘not discuss’:

13 Should SUSU remove the print version of the Wessex Scene?
14 Should SUSU mandate the Athletic Union to hold more sporting tournaments?
15 Should SUSU create a new martial arts training room? 
16 Should SUSU review the Athletic Union’s affiliating to British University & Colleges Sport (BUCS)?
17 Should SUSU create a website fixer reward scheme?
18 Should SUSU rename the Edge?
19 Should SUSU lobby the University to hire staff for improving International students’ ability to work?
20 Should SUSU elect Vice President Engagement and Vice President Student Communities on a joint ticket?
21 Should SUSU name a Queen and keeper of SUSU the cat?
22 Should SUSU create a sleeping area in the Cube?
23 Should SUSU buy a jukebox?
24 Should SUSU affiliate to the English Disco Lovers
25 Should SUSU give free drinks to students when the Bridge is full?
26 Should SUSU rename the Redbrick the Thatcher Plaza?
27 Should SUSU allocate more money to archery? 
28 Should SUSU shut down the Wessex Scene entirely? 

AGM logoSo where do we go from here? All the students who have submitted these ideas will be contacted with information on how to put together a full motion for the AGM. If any other student wishes to submit a motion to the AGM as well, then you are welcome to, but they will be heard after the ranked ideas.

Don’t forget that for the first time at the AGM, you don’t even have to be there to vote! Register your proxy vote today and you can vote whilst watching online, or even vote in advance if you know that you’re going to be busy on the day.
