The EED Committee will focus on representing students from a wide range of backgrounds

Want to represent the students of Portsmouth? The election of the Union's Ethics, Equality and Diversity committee members is taking place on Wednesday 10th October at the Union.

The Ethics, Equality and Diversity Committee has been set up to hear any issues or concerns facing the represented members, report them to Union Council, and to act on them.

Members of the EED Committee will be offered the opportunity to attend the NUS National Conference of their representative area. It is a dynamic and diverse committee with exciting opportunities to make real changes for students and the wider world.

Students can also use their experience on this committee to gain course credits under the "SetUP 4 Life" Electives Programme.

To run for election

The EED Committee will be elected at 3pm, Wednesday 10th October in Lux at The Union. We encourage all students to attend and cast their vote, as this committee will have an integral role in the direction of the Union this year.

If you would like to put yourself forward for one of the positions, please submit a 300 word manifesto, stating why you would be right for the position, to Elle Gray, President of the Students’ Union by 5pm Tuesday 9th October.
