YOUR UNION IS CHANGING - HAVE YOUR SAY!

This year the President of UPSU has led a complete governance and organisational review which will lead to major changes in the way that your union is run.

The process to date has included drafting proposals, consultation with the university, auditors, staff and students and the lengthy consultation of the Green Paper of recommendations.

This has now formed the White Paper which describes the plan that will follow if you vote for it. It will also explain how you can get involved in the discussion, how you can change the proposals and how you can finally vote for them in the UPSU Referendum.
