UTS has agreed to set up a Sustainability Task Force with a paid, part-time coordinator. The enviro collective is currently negotiating to get students a voting position on the decision making body.
There are also working groups being set up to take charge of water, energy, recycling, curriculum etc. They’re not yet sure if it will be voluntary or compulsory to have a student rep on each working group, but either way there will be student involvement.
The collective wants to ensure these moves are not just token and that the new groups operate effectively. It may take a bit of time to get things up and running and making changes but UTS enviro kids are pretty optimistic. Yay!
