Student Union would be a better name, association is fine but hints at a depoliticisation of our Campus. No mention of being supportive of strikes by the association?  We need to get some political debate back into GCU.

    It's a great idea, although there should be more investment into the union anyway, for example Strathclyde's SU is much more welcoming and just seems to be the heart of the student life. Maybe re-locating our union to some more central location would help? Simply changing the name won't change the fact that the library is more of a union than the actual union šŸ™ƒ

    I know the FTOs have mentioned multiple times that they support the strikes as well as Students Association provides guidance on them. Iā€™m not entirely sure what a superficial name change will do for the actual cause when you could reroute the money spent on changing the name and branding to legitimate supports for the cause.
