No ifs, vote Butt!

 

As an active member of the LSE community last year I co-lead #notlazylse LSE’s no detriment campaign, there are many changes I want to make for a future LSE that is:

Student First

  • Realistic drug safety measures: make support and guidance available to students
  • Empathetic and accessible approach to learning: continue self-deferrals and recorded lectures post-covid
  • A transparent Extenuating Circumstances (ECs) process

 Accessible

  • Improve financial support: simplify the student hardship form, increase the LSESU laptop allowance
  • Open the SU to rough sleepers at night in low temperatures, in line with the Mayor of London's scheme

Inclusive

  • Clear discrimination report: separate systems to report cases of racism, homophobia, and sexual assault 
  • Continue to enforce mandatory consent training, and expand this to anti-racism, and LGBTQ+ awareness training
  • An interfaith LSE: better religious representation within the Faith Centre and Wellbeing staff, immediately grant ECs for those partaking in Ramadan during the assessment period

Fosters community

  • Inclusion and more community activities to support off-campus students
  • Sabbatical engagement with student led campaigns including Rent Strike and Justice for Cleaners
  • Bi-Termly student contribution spotlight- to showcase the achievements and experiences of students from different communities
