Petitions

Your Ideas. Your University. Your changes.

Petitions are lists of students who want a particular change to happen. Beds SU uses petitions to demonstrate the strength of feeling behind an issue: your issue might not affect every student in the University, but it might deeply affect a group that wish to make their voice heard.

Petitions do not guarantee that a change will take place, but they give your representatives here at Beds SU evidence with which to help make that change. We might use this information to contact a local Member of Parliament, or present it to the University to demonstrate how many students feel strongly about a topic, or we might ask everyone who signs to join us in a letter-writing campaign - the path this takes depends upon the issue raised. You'll get regular updates from Reps who are tasked with supporting your cause once we've got to work on your issue.

As Beds SU exists to represent it's members, only registered students of UoB in the UK (members of Beds SU) will be able to create and sign petitions. If you are external to Beds SU and would like to support/hear more about one of our petitions please contact help@bedssu.co.uk.

Use the menu to create a new petition or to search existing petitions and add your support to other issues that students care about.

We look forward to receiving your petition and to helping you make change!

Beds SU believes on campus parking should be free for staff and students alike. We believe, furthermore, that introducing and/or increasing parking charges will have a detrimental effect on the overall student experience; that it is an unfair additional charge on top of student fees and other associated overheads; that it will negatively impact on students' attendance and their ability to access their courses; and, therefore, that it will negatively impact on student progression, retention, and outcomes.

Beds SU believes students should be able to use AI effectively, thus believes that the University should adopt a more clear and progressive approach on AI. The University should turn off its AI detection software until it publishes plans that accepts and embed the use of AI in learning assessments and teach students how to use AI in a beneficial & equal manner.
