Our policies
Welcome to the Policy page! Policy mandates our SU Officers to work on things and affect change directed by students. If you’d like to find out more about how you can submit a policy, please get in touch at dsu.governance@durham.ac.uk.
Below you can find all of our current live policy and updates on the progress made so far. Alternatively, if you'd like to view old policies, you can do so here.
Current Policies
Core SU positions
As a Union representing students, we hold Core SU Positions on the fundamental parts of student life and education in Durham. These positions provide a clear understanding of what the SU’s believes about the big issues and the core policy values. The beliefs that underpin the changes we will make happen for students, with students, and in their interest.
This is a new way of thinking about policy at Durham SU. Over the course of the next year we will be developing our Core SU Positions and we’d love to hear any ideas you might have – you can get in touch at dsu.governance@durham.ac.uk.
