An article I wrote for the people over at The Magdalen Magazine about the future of our education, UCU strikes, the school merger and more. DUSA's indecisiveness is taking the stance of the oppressor. Read it here ✊

We are in the news 📰

The group of around 10 students set up outside the office of uni boss Iain Gillespie at 8am and say they won't budge for 24 hours or until their demands are met.

Their teaching conditions are our learning conditions ✊ We must continue to support the teaching staff on the picket lines and at rallies. Shame that STV cut off my rant about university management, but proud to be representing our student body on the local news today.

Thanks to Dundee Ucu and Socialist Society UoD for putting up such a great fight at the rally and event today!

As campaigning draws towards a close, I thought I'd share some thoughts and feelings from the voters and supporters who have decided to . I've learnt a lot in this past week - talking to people about what is important to them has been a privilege and a joy.

Learning how to launch a successful social media campaign in a week has been tough, but now it's a great gallery of posts for me to reflect on and be proud of. Public speaking comes down to being honest and frank about who you are. I'm really glad I've managed to put the platform of radical transformation forward at our students' association.

Thank you Kirkcaldy Campus for hosting me and a few of my fellow candidates today!

Communication has gotten better and can always be better - let's join all of our campuses together. Vote Jake #1 for DUSA President ➡️ vote.dundee.ac.uk/

POLICY #3 - The National Union of Students (NUS) is the biggest student body in Scotland and the UK. I want to open up discussion as to whether we should re-affiliate with them.

The last time a referendum was held was 12 years ago, and the national campaigns that NUS runs could massively help us develop as an association.

From campaigns on housing to decolonising education, we could benefit from having a seat at the national campaign table and playing a bigger role in influencing the wider student community.

I'm incredibly grateful to hear from so many people how they feel that my manifesto and platform would be the best place to put forward the ideas, representation and ultimately, the President that they want to see. Take a look at a few more of my favourite quotes from students across the university's schools, as they explain why they have decided to . Vote now ➡️ vote.dundee.ac.uk/

POLICY #2 - Consent Classes for all students. Facilitated by DUSA's many wonderful societies which have input on this topic, we can make consent classes a condition of entry to our club nights and social events. Concerns around public safety on our nights out have become extremely pertinent in the last year - we need to open the conversation on consent, gender-based violence and how we approach those issues as an association.
