The motion was passed
The minutes will reflect discussion to clarify what this motion means in practice - essentially the Union will ask the University what is possible in respect of the name that appears on an award, and what is required to change a name. The Union will also speak to the Community Law Centre to find out what is required for a student to legally change their name, and whether the Centre is able to provide individual guidance to students. The Union will then produce guidance based on the above.
