RESOLUTION REACHED: Faculty of Education Issues Resolved!

Picture
Statement regarding the resolutions of the ongoing issues with the Faculty of Education

Newman Students’ Union met with the University on Friday 28th September 2018 to discuss resolving the ongoing issues with the Faculty of Education.

A previous statement outlined that the Executive Committee have been committed to resolving these issues behind the scenes, and NSU are delighted to announce that both parties have come to an agreement of resolution.

As part of the resolution, the University has agreed to:
  1. Post an apology on the University intranet acknowledging the mistakes that the University has made, and committing to rectify the communication and transparency issues that have occurred;

  2. Arrange a conversation between the Faculty of Education and the Students’ Union to work on how a positive working relationship can be instilled at the heart of the SSCC and Course Rep system to ensure that student voice remains a focus of delivery; and
    ​
  3. Sign a new Student Charter with the students’ Union. This is an agreement with the Students’ Union and the University about shared values and expectations of both the University and the Students. As part of this, all students shall have a “Personal Tutor” who will be their main point of contact throughout their time at Newman, therefore addressing the communication issues highlighted in the apology.
 
As the campaign was entirely outcome focused, NSU has therefore cancelled the vote at the Emergency Union General Meeting on Wednesday 4th October 2018. However, in the interest of transparency, the meeting will still go ahead as planned to discuss with students the details of the resolution and answer any questions they may have.

The Executive Committee are extremely grateful to the University for the opportunity to resolve these issues, and look forward to a continued and strong working relationship that focuses on student experience. NSU also want to apologise to any staff who may have been affected by this action, and to any offence that may have occurred.
