We've set up a Coronavirus Support Group especially for University of Portsmouth students! This is moderated by your Sabbatical Officer team. Check it out for top tips on distance learning and updates on how the Officers are representing your concerns 👍 buff.ly/2UdFXla

Would appreciate any support on the awareness campaign I have started surrounding the use of predicted grades to dictate your future at HE, and how they disadvantage both BAME & the working class students! So please go follow, like and repost and let's make some noise on this!

Fantastic to see a private accommodation provider making a decision that will have such a positive impact on students during this uncertain time. Let's hope that the rest of them will follow in Unite's footsteps! Prime Student Living The Student Housing Company CRM Students NUS UK 👏👏👏

I’ve teamed up with University of Portsmouth UPSU in calling on student accommodation providers in #Portsmouth to release students from their contracts. It’s time for housing providers to do the right thing to stop hardship👇🏻

We support the 'No Detriment Policy' being implemented both in University of Southampton and Exeter university, to ensure a more empathetic and ethical approach by our educational institutions in this current global health crisis.

The rest of the sabbatical team and I just had a really useful and productive meeting with our local MP Stephen Morgan MP about how we can work together to best support students during this challenging time💜 @WelfCom_VP @Activities_VP Rama Hilouneh Gez Matthews

Helpful to catch up with UPSU officers and actions being taken to help University of Portsmouth students during this crisis. We discussed issues over exams, accommodation, lost earnings and wellbeing. Government is acting on concerns of those in work; our students deserve no less

Today marks the arrival of Ramadan. For our Muslim students we understand that this year will be very different in the current climate. We have pulled together some online tools and support for you at buff.ly/2yBSyWZ

This appeared in an Department for Education document today. It is nothing short of insulting from this Government who may be suprised to know our "niche student activism" has done everything from leading anti-apartheid movements to saving millions of pounds for students.

Proud to work at a university that looks at potential and not just grades, especially given the mess made with this year’s results.

We have been working extremely hard to organise a host of events for #BlackHistoryMonth. The themes for the 4 weeks of the month are education, awareness, campaigning and celebration. Keep an eye out on our socials as we’ll be releasing the BHM timetable very soon!

Want to know how the council is working with the University of Portsmouth & Hampshire Constabulary to reduce the risk of coronavirus infections? Last week, colleagues joined Mark Waldron, editor of The News, Portsmouth for a discussion - Watch again & read more here: bit.ly/UoPcovid

I have created the Student halls champions initiative to act as a feedback system from students who are living in halls and have first hand experience. Especially during a second lockdown we must make sure that students feel safe and that their fundamental rights are being met!

RepCon 2 underway ! Really good to see so many students engaging in our virtual conference and hearing all the student concerns with the upcoming year. 205 course reps listening in so far !

Rama Hilouneh is answering your questions about No Detriment practices and making sure these continue to be considered by the University #UPSUAMM

We have written a letter to our University Executive Board and BoG alongside our BAME Ambassadors to highlight the extent of institutional racism and have set out demands for the Univerisity. Check out more on the ambassadors instagram ! upsu.net/post/8H8T7QWCY…
