► David Harding Manifesto
David Harding It’s often easy to stereotype students as fresh out of school with no commitments except that gig next week and the obligatory pint or dozen every night. The truth of the matter is that students come from all backgrounds with many having full time jobs, family commitments, health difficulties or a multitude of other reasons why the conventional university experience doesn’t apply. The best people to represent the views and needs of Mature Students are those that actually fall into that category. As a part-time student I know what it’s like to juggle work and study – add into the fold all the other things in our lives and it becomes clear that a ‘one size fits all’ attitude to higher education is as an absurd a concept as Pete Docherty’s ‘career’… University is not simply about attaining a good job – it’s about opportunity - the opportunity to develop as a person, to learn, to meet new people and try new things. Ultimately, I aim to campaign on opening as many opportunities as possible for Mature Students and the student body at large. In recent years we’ve seen the decline of many avenues for students, the reduction in evening study classes and the limited financial help available to cover the costs of university. For example, whereas full time students have their tuition fees paid, part-time students have to pay £230 per module per semester. There’s no place for it, yet it just won’t go away! It is all too easy to turn a blind eye on what is still an endemic problem in society, whether it is racism, homophobia, sexism, ageism or discrimination against the disabled, the people that perpetuate this nonsense need to be stopped. I wholeheartedly commit to working with the other elected representatives of
