Students have submitted some great ideas but unfortunately ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± is not currently in a position to implement them in the current climate. These are ideas we hope to look at in the future.

Ideas which did not receive the student support in the voting period and therefore will not be implemented.

These ideas cannot be authorised by the Union President due to potential feasibility issues - e.g. financial, reputational or governance.

These are submissions which are similar to ideas that have already been submitted, or to Sabbatical Officers manifesto aims. This tab also contains the submission to the Covid-19 Forum during the ¸Û²Ê¿ª½±ggestions platform pilot phase over Summer 2020.

How to make that change
There are many ways you can transform your University, ¸Û²Ê¿ª½±, or the community you live in. If you have an idea and want to spark a conversation, make a submission here on this platform. From simple suggestions to political campaigns, we welcome all ideas for change, big or small.
Your ideas will be published live on this platform for voting and comments from fellow students. If students think your idea is great they can vote it through to the next stage. Sabbatical Officers will respond publicly on this platform to let you know what is being done about the idea.
Some things can be worked on straight away - e.g. getting menus translated in ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± venues, whilst others require deeper consultation with students - e.g. ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± creating a new representative position. This will be decided by the Ideas Forum, which is a group of student representatives including the ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± Sabbatical Officers, Part-time Officers and reps from the Colleges and ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± committees e.g. Department reps, Societies committee and York Sport Union Committee. The Forum will categorise your ideas into ‘Actions’ which are simple transactional ideas which can be worked on straight away; or ‘Policy Proposals’ for larger, transformative ideas which require wider student consultation before a decision can be made to pass or reject the idea.

The timeline
You can submit ideas until Friday 8 March 2024. Voting will open midday on Monday 11 March 2024 for 30 days.
The rules
Before your idea is put live, it will be reviewed by the ¸Û²Ê¿ª½± President and Student Voice Team. There are several reasons why an idea may not be published on the website (examples below), so please avoid sharing stories which may fall into these categories. e.g.:
- Ideas that may present a risk to the reputation to the Union - e.g. if it contains language or content that may cause offense or be deemed discriminatory.
- Ideas that may present a legal risk to the Union.
- Ideas which mention names or personal details about someone.
