What is the Leicester 100?
The Leicester 100 is a representative panel that will sit at the heart of decision-making within our Students’ Union. They will be voting on student policies, determining whether they are to be passed. The Leicester 100 will meet once a term to vote, so three times per academic year!
Why is the Leicester 100 important?
As we are led by students, it is crucial we aim for the voices we hear to be reflective of our wider student population. At Leicester, we have a vastly diverse student body, and as a Students’ Union, we have an established commitment to reflect this diversity. As part of this commitment, we are establishing the Leicester 100 to centre this across our policy voting system. The ‘100’ will be selected to proportionally represent the wider student population, measured against the protected characteristics as outlined in the Equality Act 2010. Representation of these characteristics is key, particularly in positions of policy regulation and approval, to work as a safeguard against monopolising, marginalising views, and to operate on behalf of our students as a whole. We are at the start of ever-evolving, forward-thinking, and future-creating change, led by the Leicester 100.
