OUR PRIORITIES

OUR PRIORITIES ⋆
RESPONSIBLE UU-AI
Like it or not - AI is here to stay. RUPS wants to the UU to take ownership of this. A dedicated, responsible AI tool can serve the needs of students. RUPS wants the UU to adopt an accessible AI-chatbot free from commercial (American) dependencies with the university retaining control. At the same time, assessment methods - like exams - must be adapted so that students’ analytical thinking is measured, instead of how well they can prompt a chatbot.
A MEAL FOR €3,50
As a student, you’ll often be faced with unfairly expensive food on campus. This is because contracts with food suppliers do not benefit students. This has to change. RUPS wants to guarantee at least one meal for €3,50 in each UU-owned canteen. The university owns its own ground, already eliminating a large part of the costs - next the contracts need to be done away with.
DEMOCRATIZATION
Students deserve more than just one vote a year. RUPS wants student representation that makes a real difference: with concrete powers, ongoing involvement, and a board that takes student input seriously. When it comes to major decisions and the appointment of key board members, RUPS wants advisory referendums. That way, students’ voices will count even outside the councils.
VOTE RUPS ON JUNE 1st
Every UU student can vote, including internationals. If you are a BETA student, you may vote twice! Once for your faculty council, and another time for the broader University Council. You were born just in time to vote RUPS twice, might as well make use of the opportunity!
