Positional Policy

These policies can be suggested by our members and agreed by Guild Summit or via a student vote. These policies are statements of belief or intent on key issues, they can be a statement of the Guild's position, or a commitment to doing things in a certain way or campaign on a particular issue. These policies are made democratically and remain in place for three years until they lapse. See Policy Precedent for lapsed policies.

If you have an idea for a new policy you can make a submission to Change It.

Guild Exclusions Policy

The Guild has a policy for decisions relating to those organisations it does not wish to engage into partnerships, investments or commercial media sales agreements with whether for political, ethical, moral or organisational integrity reasons.

Those exclusions which are based on positional policy above will lapse with those policies.

Those exclusions which have not previously been subject to student opinion (i.e. those listed on the date of approval) will be reviewed in line with the policy review, after which they will remain in place until challenged via the democratic process.

Policy Precedent

These are old policies which have expired, but are kept here to provide a non-binding indicator of student opinion.
