Petitions

Your Ideas. Your University. Your changes.

Petitions are a great way to demonstrate the strength of feeling individuals and the student body have about important issues that face them.

At Beds SU we encourage you to use them as a way of making positive change happen. Whether that means creating a petition yourself or commenting and voting on an existing one, the power is in your hands.

A petition doesn't need to be something that affects the whole student body but if an issue is important to you we strongly encourage you to try and do something about it!

You will find the current open petitions at the bottom of this page. Each one will have a summary of the issue and you can comment, ask questions and vote on it.

Petitions

We call on universities to either switch off AI-detection tools in assessment or allow students to upload and check their own work for AI scores before submission. Unreliable algorithms and false positives are unfair on students and damage confidence. Assessment should be transparent, supportive, and led by human judgment — not hidden software.
