Your Elected Officers and BAME Ambassadors have written a formal letter to the University to address your concerns about the progress and steps being taken to tackle racism in our University. You can read the letter and more here: https://t.co/O7HRvWiV7W

[Rama Hilouneh @ED_VP]

We have written a letter to our University Executive Board and BoG alongside our BAME Ambassadors to highlight the extent of institutional racism and have set out demands for the Univerisity. Check out more on the ambassadors instagram !

@ED_VP is answering your questions about No Detriment practices and making sure these continue to be considered by the University #UPSUAMM

[Rama Hilouneh @ED_VP]

RepCon 2 underway ! Really good to see so many students engaging in our virtual conference and hearing all the student concerns with the upcoming year. 205 course reps listening in so far !

[Anwar Jawula @DemCamUPSU]

I have created the Student halls champions initiative to act as a feedback system from students who are living in halls and have first hand experience. Especially during a second lockdown we must make sure that students feel safe and that their fundamental rights are being met!

[Portsmouth City Council @portsmouthtoday]

Want to know how the council is working with the @portsmouthuni & Hampshire Constabulary to reduce the risk of coronavirus infections? Last week, colleagues joined Mark Waldron, editor of @portsmouthnews for a discussion - Watch again & read more here: https://t.co/X2XVAhZ8pU

We have been working extremely hard to organise a host of events for #BlackHistoryMonth. The themes for the 4 weeks of the month are education, awareness, campaigning and celebration. Keep an eye out on our socials as we’ll be releasing the BHM timetable very soon!

[Fiona Loughran @LoughranFiona]

Proud to work at a university that looks at potential and not just grades, especially given the mess made with this year��s results.

@Adele_R_B @portsmouthsu Such a huge loss to UPSU 😭 going to miss you Adele !! ❤

[Rama Hilouneh @ED_VP]

@maricarjagger @YoungMindsUK Really like the idea! Will bring it up with the union- thank you for sending this through :)

[Larissa @Larissa_Ken]

This appeared in an @educationgovuk document today. It is nothing short of insulting from this Government who may be suprised to know our "niche student activism" has done everything from leading anti-apartheid movements to saving millions of pounds for students.

[UPSU @portsmouthsu]

Today marks the arrival of Ramadan. For our Muslim students we understand that this year will be very different in the current climate. We have pulled together some online tools and support for you at https://t.co/c7FlrL8eta

[Stephen Morgan MP @StephenMorganMP]

Helpful to catch up with @portsmouthsu officers and actions being taken to help @portsmouthuni students during this crisis. We discussed issues over exams, accommodation, lost earnings and wellbeing. Government is acting on concerns of those in work; our students deserve no less

[Anwar Jawula @DemCamUPSU]

The rest of the sabbatical team and I just had a really useful and productive meeting with our local MP @StephenMorganMP about how we can work together to best support students during this challenging time💜
@WelfCom_VP @Activities_VP @ED_VP @Sports_VP

[Stephen Morgan MP @StephenMorganMP]

I’ve teamed up with @portsmouthuni @portsmouthsu in calling on student accommodation providers in #Portsmouth to release students from their contracts. It’s time for housing providers to do the right thing to stop hardship👇🏻

[Rama Hilouneh @ED_VP]

We support the 'No Detriment Policy' being implemented both in @unisouthampton and Exeter university, to ensure a more empathetic and ethical approach by our educational institutions in this current global health crisis.

[UPSU @portsmouthsu]

A statement from the Sabbs, regarding the recent petition calling for the University to implement a 'No Detriment Policy', so student's grades are not negatively impacted from the disruption caused by Coronavirus. They are actively lobbying the University on this stance for you.

[#CantPredictMe @cantpredict_me]

Research has shown that only 7% of students attest that their university has discussed the BAME attainment gap with the student body. A policy has been introduced which will affect all A-Level and GCSE students, let's explore how the most vulnerable are disadvantaged by this.

[UPSU @portsmouthsu]

We've set up a Coronavirus Support Group especially for University of Portsmouth students! This is moderated by your Sabbatical Officer team. Check it out for top tips on distance learning and updates on how the Officers are representing your concerns ���� https://t.co/PwISv4XVjB

[Anwar Jawula @DemCamUPSU]

Fantastic to see a private accommodation provider making a decision that will have such a positive impact on students during this uncertain time. Let's hope that the rest of them will follow in Unite's footsteps! @Prime_Student @comelivewithus @CRM_Students @nusuk 👏👏👏

[Rama Hilouneh @ED_VP]

Would appreciate any support on the awareness campaign I have started surrounding the use of predicted grades to dictate your future at HE, and how they disadvantage both BAME & the working class students!
So please go follow, like and repost and let's make some noise on this!
