Merge VP Sport And VP Societies & Media.
Combine the two student group Vice President roles into one, Vice President Sports & Societies, to lead integrated support for sports clubs, societies and other student opportunities. This would enable the SU to add another new professional staff role to the team supporting clubs and societies, increasing our capacity for key administrative tasks and more.
It’s important to know that this change is also directly linked to our idea below around the introduction of student executives. This will see the creation of a Clubs, Societies and Opportunities Executive who will have overall responsibility of grant funding, increasing the transparency of this process and ensuring more students are having a direct say on the way grants are allocated.
Note that this change will only affect the 20/21 Sabbatical Officers and not the recently elected 19/20 officers.
