Student Council, October 15, 2026: What happened?
Last night saw the first Student Council of the academic year, bringing together elected student representatives to discuss, debate and vote on a motion put forward by students.
Alongside shaping SU policy, your Full-Time Officers team kicked things off with updates on what exactly they have been working to make student life better. Key priorities include tackling student poverty, improving academic support, creating more inclusive campus spaces and pushing for fairer housing and transport. Officers are also working with the University and other student unions to turn these priorities into meaningful changes for students.
Every motion that passes becomes official SU policy, helping shape our priorities and the work we do to represent and support students. You can find out more about motions on the Ideas Board.
So, what made it through? Let’s break down the results and what they mean for your SU.

At the end of the meeting, an Expression of Dissatisfaction was raised about the deadlines for submitting motions were too short. The expression was put to a vote and passed by students in the room.
