Hello one and all! I hope you're well and enjoying the sunshine.
This is just to give you a quick update on the last week. We have some spicy news for you, but we shall communicate it all on Monday, so stay tuned!
A lot of things have happened this week, these are some of the key highlights:
Gender Identity Policy
The draft is out for consultation and will be discussed at the Student Experience Board on Monday. There are still a lot of areas that we need to make progress on but equally so much has been done already, and we're on track to enact the policy before the end of this academic year, which is excellent!
Graduations
I've been in contact with the University consistently over the past few months investigating the possibility of in-person graduations. I'm so glad to say that the University has communicated that it's doing everything it can to ensure graduations for the classes of 2020 and 2021 can happen in-person. Fingers crossed for you all!
Drugs and Harm Reduction
With a bunch of truly amazing students, I've written a paper for the Council/Senate/Students' Union committee on getting the University to shift its approach on recreational drug use to a harm reduction approach. The paper was welcomed by all members of the committee and a recommendation is going to go to the University Executive to enact all our recommendations.
Just a quick one this week! As always, please get in touch with me at supresident@bath.ac.uk if you want to talk about anything.
Have a lovely, sunny weekend.
Stay fab
