I find it sadly ironic that a panel on valuing student representation does not have a named student representative on it. Even if they do have a student panel member, what message is it sending by not including them in the promotion @THEMEStweets

The problem with having no structure is that there is always a structure. Denying it is not there does not make it go away just harder to change https://t.co/fkMHlSKslp via @WIRED

Grassroots organising is about talking, building understanding, working on the "small" issues to clear the path and support for large issues. My takeaway from an excellent plenary #NUSGathering

[Sara MacLean @SaraBBMac]

Grassroots organising is about reimagining power in our communities. Thinking point for the student movement from the plenary #NUSGathering

Could we also extend this possible legislation to cover integrity in other academic work, for example, journal articles? For example, first named author being responsible for the actual writing of the article? #doublestandards anyone https://t.co/jyDM3n6bRz
