News from the Meeting

From the Huddersfield Student website - by Ben Hall - Dec 09

"A University of Huddersfield Students’ Union (UHSU) Extra-ordinary General Meeting this afternoon voted to lobby against the University in its plans to change the timetable from quarter past the hour to on the hour.

A vote, which saw only one vote against and one abstention, was unanimously passed by students who wished to preserve the 15-minutes at the start and end of lessons.

“We have to ensure we keep the pressure on the University and we’ll be campaigning for it next semester,” said VP Education & Welfare Haneef Rashid who built the motion against the changes. “We’ll be doing a petition and taking photographs to ensure we keep the pressure on.”

Sorcha Johnson, a student rep who attended and spoke at the meeting, told assembled members of the Union that the time changes would cause massive inconvenience to commuting and parent students.

Rashid informed members before the vote that 59% of students at the University lived in the surrounding area and travelled in to study.

The “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it” campaign, headed by Rashid, will run from January."
