Bidet showers on Campus

This Idea was approved at the 4th December 2023 Student Voice Meeting. We will be taking this forward and lobbying the university for the change.
We are a diverse campus with people with different cultural backgrounds in which most of the GCU students are facing issues regarding no usage of bidet showers. We think this is something important to be implemented. So, we as FTO’s thought to come up in the Exec meeting with this idea of using bidet showers as it is an important part of African and Asian History.
For years, GCU Students suffered from a lack of adequate provision of bidet showers or water-based solutions in toilets. Many of our students who come from different cultural or ethnic backgrounds, don’t know the use of paper towel which is normal here. GCU Students finds it continuously challenging to access toilets on campus.
Alongside being a giant leap towards making campus spaces more inclusive and diversely accessible, a gradual switch to water-based solutions can offer a real answer to the problem of paper wastage. GCU Facilities Department should focus on including sustainable drainage by using bidet showers revamp, so that the new facilities are not only environmentally sustainable but also help in cutting down on paper usage on campus. With this step, we can further be an inclusive and environmentally conscious institution, with values that are vital to the wider GCU’s community.

This would be the best thing the university could do to their students
Students at the moment have problems keeping the toilets clean and not peeing all over the toilets seats at the moment. I have lived in the middle East where these are commonplace and I know these can get extremely dirty without proper and constant maintenance. More so than the current requirements. How about sticking to basics first and try focusing on educating students on how to use current facilities properly since it's evident there is a problem with it before spending thousands on toilets that will get wrecked and miss-used.
