Cut Rent, Cut Fees, #TransformLSE
It’s time to #TransformLSE (Emerson for Education, Tori for C&W) into the engine for social change that it claims to be.
The university has happily taken the money of postgraduate and international students, raising fees year-by-year, without tangibly bringing them into the fold. While I’ll continue to work for COVID tuition refunds, we need:
Make Diversity & Inclusion a priority. Recruit diverse students and create an inclusive culture that welcomes them. We need:
-
Diversity reports that account for race, class, gender, sexuality and the intersectionality of identities.
-
Compulsory consent and implicit bias training for students and staff.
-
To Decolonise the Curriculum
-
Student diversity networks
-
To expand the mentoring scheme
Finally, mental health support needs an overhaul at the university. Post-pandemic, we need:
