Chidi sees it, Chidi says it, Chidi sorts it!
Hi, my name is Chidinma Onyebu.
I am running to be your Education Officer. As a General Course student, I have experienced the US and UK education systems, giving me a unique perspective on the academic experience at LSE.
Being General Course President, I have worked on key initiatives addressing departmental disparities, the racial attainment gap, and career support.
I want to continue these efforts by SEEING your challenges, SAYING what needs to change, and SORTING issues to enhance your academic experience!
SEEING (Identifying the Issues)
- Addressing inconsistencies across departments and standardizing expectations across departments.
- Lobbying to reinstate the PhD pipeline for Black 2nd-year undergraduates to increase full-time Black professors.
- Pushing for a more inclusive curriculum by diversifying reading lists.
SAYING (Advocating for Change)
- Ensuring professors with relevant lived experiences teach sensitive topics like race and religion.
- Enforcing an opt-in policy for inclusivity training and accountability of professors.
- Demanding better resources and accountability for neurodiverse students.
SORTING (Implementing Solutions)
- Expanding initiatives to close the racial attainment gap
- Lobby for extensions for summative assessments for working students.
- Create more part-time job opportunities to support students in balancing work and academics.
