Policy is the way in which you can change the union, the University or the world. Big or small, if you have an idea and what YUSU to do something about it, the policy process is the way to do it.
YUSU and the University providing Gender Neutral Toilets.
Any student or student group can suggest an Idea for change here at YUSU - some Ideas can be worked on straight away, whilst others will go out to our Officers, networks and colleges for consultation. Particularly difficult or controversial Ideas may even end up at a campus-wide referendum!
The Policy & Review Group, or PRG for short, is a body of 5 students responsible for reviewing and reporting on the policy process within YUSU. It ensures that students have the ability to submit Ideas and that policy is generated both transparently, accountably and fairly.
Some can be worked on straight away, we call these 'actions'. The Full Time Officer team will work with the Idea submitter to make change.
You tell us what you think, and our Policy & Review Group look over all of the feedback & try to determine whether or not people were generally in favour of an Idea, (as well as whether the feedback we received is representative of enough of our members to make a decision).
Voting: Voting is online at yusu.org and the results will be published within 24 hours of the close of voting - keep an eye on the student media, our website and our Weekly Info for updates about what happens after that.
