MORGAN FAIRLESS

Make the Union Work for Postgrads

My offer: A track record at LSE, proven commitment, and the right policies.

 

I am an MSc PP&A student from Uruguay, and LSE Alum. Last year, the Students Union gave me an Honours award citing “services to student voice, cross-campus communication and public accountability”. It said: “Morgan has helped shape a better LSE experience for students, particularly during times where students have needed a voice” 

 

I promise to bring this same commitment to reach these goals:

 

Make the Union work for postgrads

  • Help societies and AU clubs improve postgrad inclusion, also expanding operations into summer, when postgrads are still on campus;
  • Increase student membership in LSE decision making bodies.

Improve course choice and academic mentoring

  • Work on a full overhaul, including pre-enrolment course choice and a mentor selection portal;

Fairness Despite Covid 

  • Keep refunds, assessment extension, and deferral on the table; 
  • Demand that LSE keep and expand assessment flexibilities brought in on 2019/20. 
  • Lobby for more support for digital learning (inc. financial support for digital learning, and disability accommodations).

Lobby for Structural Change

  •  Increase support for existing social justice campaigns; 
  • Push for assessment diversification; 
  • Mandatory pastoral care professionals  in every department; 
  • Full time sexual violence advisors/liasons.

 

=> This candidate is supported by the Drama society, the Entrepreneurs society, the United Nations society, the Modern Languages society, the Swiss society, the Grimshaw club and the Lacrosse club.
