Have Your Say

Policy


Students ideas submitted to the Better Forums are discussed by a student panel. The panel can either reject these ideas, send them to be voted on at a referendum, or passed. If they pass, either at the forum or through a referendum, they then become Union Policy - the things the Student Exec, with the support of the Union staff, work on to make a better union, a better university, or better Leeds for students.

We have separated the ideas that have become policy into their relevant categories, please click the links below to find out more about each:



Submit your ideas!

If you have an idea for a better union, university, or Leeds, any student can submit an idea at any time throughout the year. Ideas then go to the monthly forums to be discussed. Submit your idea at www.leedsuniversityunion.org.uk/haveyoursay/submityouridea.
