As you may know, club members do not receive any form of
remuneration/honorarium, and the work they do is done with
the sole purpose of supporting and engaging fellow students in an effort to improve their experience on campus.
This can often require a substantial amount of time, energy,
and sacrifice. Despite this, clubs as a whole are not
recognised in the same light as members of the SRC
regarding the level of support they receive. This includes
the allocation of designated or authorised
office/storage spaces, and printing provisions. Allocating this
exclusively to SRC students who do receive remuneration for
their time and efforts fosters inequity amongst students.
This petition calls upon Western Sydney University to
recognise the valuable and meaningful work clubs do, by
providing them with designated offices/spaces similar to
that which the SRC, SR&P and Student Engagement receive,
including free printing access for club related material, and
the consideration of modest honorariums.
The amount of hours we put into running events is crazy and we get nothing back. Printing costs are killing our budget
