Union Resnet Compensation Policy proposed
Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 3:58 pm
As I promised, I've been working on getting a union policy proposed in the pursuit of compensation for all resnet users and better service from warwick accommodation in regards to the internet service provided.
i have finally proposed a policy to achieve this.
Please COME TO THE GENERAL MEETING NEXT WEEK and vote "FOR" the policy. This is the only way short of going to court that they will pay up for their abysmal services.
The more people attending the better. Invite everybody you know to attend to. The university must realise we are serious on this issue. You do NOT need to live on campus to vote.
Please also PM me if you can help campaign to get people to come. Its time to rock the boat.
The policy itself reads as follows:
This Union Notes
1. The standard of ResNet this year has been regularly below the standard students should reasonably expect when they decided to live on campus
2. That a petition was presented to Warwick Accommodation by residents of Jack Martin demanding compensation
3. That the CDCO wrote a memo to Warwick Accommodation asking what they intended to do about compensating students and in their reply Warwick Accommodation apologised for the problems with the ResNet service but did not address the issue of compensation
This Union Believes
1. By failing to provide adequate internet service Warwick Accommodation have not honoured student residential contracts
2. Warwick Accommodation has no intent to compensate or negotiate with residents on this matter
3. That Warwick Accommodation often seem not to value the Welfare of students as much as they should and that this is unacceptable
4. That students’ should be compensated for this poor service
This Union Resolves
1. As a first step, to encourage and facilitate all students who have suffered problems to send a letter demanding a refund for the poor service to:
The University Secretary
University of Warwick
Coventry
CV4 7AL
2. If the University still fails to respond appropriately, encourage and facilitate all students to contact “The Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Educationâ€ÂÂ
