Gen Sec Race: Fadhil Bakeer-Markar




VOTE FADHIL FOR GENSEC. I want us to be the most active, inclusive, and responsive Students’ Union in the country, standing up for students on issues such as: Affordable Education and Better Student Support – improving the quality of teaching. I will lobby for affordable education, exam feedback and summer re-sits, and against visa charge rises; Greater SU-School consultation - there is no excuse for the LSE excluding the SU and muting its concerns, including on controversial issues. I will be an effective bridge between the School and SU, involving more students in SU activities and effectively representing your interests; Improving daily student life – I stand for better quality food on campus, more comfortable seating, more options for banks and phone companies at Freshers’ Fair, better Media Group facilities, increased language support and more postgraduate study spaces; Environment and Ethics – we need a more environmentally sound LSE, promoting ethical investment; supporting international justice and initiatives such as the Living Wage Campaign; Equality for All – working for a culture of tolerance and diversity; campaigning against racism, sexism, homophobia and discrimination towards disabled students; Sports facilities – with LSE’s expansion, I want to prioritise the need for excellent facilities on campus; Residences - I will push residences to prioritise students with financial difficulties in less expensive halls, support more budget places and will work to make it easier to find accommodation after 1st yr.
There’s a lot of work to be done, but given my experience, energy and ideas, I believe I am the candidate capable of involving more students and taking the Union forward.
