Beds SU believes that the University of Bedfordshire should be accredited as a Living Wage Foundation employer and pay all their staff and contractors the Real Living Wage whilst committing to creating more in-house employment and skills-development opportunities for Beds students and recent graduates.

Beds SU believes that a basic holistic Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the University of Bedfordshire as a whole (the provider) and its students (the customers) should be instated, to ensure that a high standard of academic, administrative and welfare support is available to enrolled students on all courses and across all UoB sites.

Beds SU believes the University of Bedfordshire should reduce unnecessary printing to lower the institution’s environmental impact.

Beds SU believes that the UoB should commit to implementing a designated BME scheme within its student support service, as well as commit to hiring black staff to ensure that black UoB students feel adequately represented in a space that often alienates them.

Beds SU believes that students should have access to both online and in class learning, allowing for flexibility in their learning to accommodate their individual needs.

Beds SU believes that all University of Bedfordshire campuses should be safe places for all students, free from sexual abuse and the University should actively try to reduce rape culture on campus.

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.
