Presidents Committee
The Students’ Union is here to promote and address issues that affect you at Roehampton University. We are student-led, run by elected sabbatical officers and informed by YOUR feedback.
What is Presidents Committee?
Presidents’ Committee is the central operation of student leadership and representation at RSU. To put it simply, students can submit campaign ideas to Presidents’ committee and create the change they want to see!
An idea can be anything from new university bus routes, to new relaxation spaces on campus, to how to improve student support during exam periods. As your Students’ Union, we’re here to represent and promote YOUR voice!

How Does Presidents' Committee Work?
Presidents’ Committee meets at least once a month during term time to discuss your campaign ideas.
To begin, students should first submit a campaign idea. This is then received by Presidents’ Committee where they will review your idea. From here, they will identify the relevant students and student groups to gather feedback on your idea to further their understanding, before coming to a collective decision.
Presidents’ Committee can make one of three decisions on an idea:
- If there is consensus, they will approve the idea as Students' Union policy and begin working towards its aims.
- 2. If there is consensus against the idea, they will reject the idea. Where appropriate, any rejected ideas may be sent to the relevant departments as service feedback. Any feedback sent will be anonymised.
- 3. If there is no consensus either way, the idea shall be sent to referendum, where all students can have their say on what happens to the idea.

Read about passed Students' Union Policies
When an idea has been commented on by enough students, your elected student officers will meet to determine if there's general student consensus for or against an action. If they deem there is consensus, they will pass your idea as Students' Union Policy.
The purpose of Students' Union Policy is to help steer the work we do. This may be by stating the collective postion of the Students' Union on any given issue or mandating the Students' Union to direct our work towards a particular set of actions.
If passed, Students' Union Policy will last for two years unless it is overturned, amended, or renewed.
