There are four Students' Union councils that are spaces for students to work on projects, represent students' needs and feed into the Students' Union's decison-making. Each Council has a different structure and is chaired by an Executive Officer.
Academic Council
The Academic Council is a new structure that consists of the Education Officer, School Reps, 4 Part-Time Officers, and the College Reps. It is a space where academic affairs are discussed and projects surrounding student feedback, belonging and engagement are discussed.
Liberation Council
The Liberation Council is chaired by the Liberation Officer and aims to provide a space to highlight the voices of students from a variety of backgrounds, which are fed into the Students' Union's work. The council aims to remove barriers and works towards acheiving collective liberation.
The Sustainability Network sits underneath the Liberation Council and it acts as a forum for students interested in working on the Students' Union's sustainability campaigns.
Sports Council
Societies Council is chaired by the Sports and Societies Officer and works to ensure the voices and opinions of all areas of student groups at Leicester are equally considered in the implementation of decisions and changes.
Societies Council
Sports Council is chaired by the Sports and Societies Officer and aims to give students across all facets of club sport a greater voice here. The idea of this council is to formalise student discussions, build a sports-focused discussion group within the SU and Sport and Active Life, discuss ideas and give students a greater voice among senior staff. The future success of sports here at Leicester lies completely within the student’s voices. It is extremely important students are included in the process of navigating the forthcoming season as we build on creating an exceptional sporting offer.
