President is still suspended
SWANSEA University Students’ Union president Zahid Raja remains suspended pending an investigation.
The students’ union released a statement late last term saying: “The trustee board has taken a decision to suspend the president pending the outcome of an investigation.
“The suspension in this case is not a disciplinary act – it is a neutral act designed to protect him, and any complainant until the investigation has been completed.”
The president has been advised not to communicate with students unless he is authorised to do so as part of the suspension process.
The suspension follows the launch of a petition by students calling for a vote of no confidence in the president.
Any questions regarding the suspension should be emailed to the union manager on stuartrice@swansea-union.co.uk.

What do you think of the students’ union?
THE students’ union is running its annual feedback survey, giving students the opportunity to comment on the current state of the union, and say how it can improve.
Union manager Stuart Rice said: “The “The State of the Union” survey will take less than 10 minutes to complete and will be vital in delivering both a better service for you as well as improving what we do.
“As a thank you, you will be entered into a prize draw to win a number of prizes including tickets to students’ union events.
“If you want to be in with a chance of winning a prize and improving your student experience then get clicking and tell us about the state of your union.”

Promote your student business
THE students’ union is launching a new scheme in Fulton Outfitters to showcase students making their own products or running their own businesses.
Students will be given the chance to put a business case to the union and they will pick suitable products/services to sell in store.
Students will pay £10 to hire a space in the store for one month and can use their creative skills to dress and brand the space as they like. The SU will also offer marketing support to the students to advertise their product.
All profits made will go back to the students.

Fund raising for Maggie’s
THE students’ union has raised a total of £1354.94 through its community scheme, carrier bag sales and charity collections in Costcutter.
The money will be donated to Maggie’s Cancer Charity.
