6 June Town Hall Referenda

Should the LSESU lobby the LSE to have student representation on the External Funding Ethical Review Board (EFERB)?

Proponent: Maarya Rabbani

Problem:

There is currently no student representation on the EFERB, it solely consists of the School secretary (Louise Nadal) and faculty members from academic departments. Other Committees, Boards, and steering groups at the LSE have at least one student representative in their membership so this case is definitely an outlier for LSE-SU partnership.

Solution:
The solution is to have at least one currently enrolled student and one Sabbatical Officer on the Board to express student perspective in the discussions ahead of EFERB decisions made re : philanthropic/other gifts that LSE receives.
