We the undersigned are in opposition to the changes proposed by the University of St Andrews Athletic Union. We believe that de-democratising the Athletic Union by abolishing students' rights to vote for their representatives is the wrong decision. Keeping student elected positions is in the best interest of the Athletic Union and it should continue to operate in this way with no change.

Seeing this level of support reminds me why I started fighting for our representation in the first place. This momentum proves that students will not accept being silenced by those who want to take our vote away.

This is ridiculous. Students deserve a say in who represents them. Nothing good comes from taking away elections.

Absolute joke. Why change something that works perfectly fine? Leave it alone.

So disappointing to see the uni trying to push this through without listening to anyone. Keep the elections.
