    Rally for same-sex marriage rights this SAT!

    November 25th, 2009 | By President

    Hi all,

    This Saturday the 28th of November at 1pm, Sydney Town Hall, the Year of Action on same-sex marriage rights will kick off with what will hopefully be a very exciting rally!

    The rally is timed to coincide with the release of recommendations from the Govt. inquiry into same-sex marriage and so it’s of upmost importance we get a big turn out to send a strong message to Kevin Rudd that same-sex rights are civil rights and that we want equality marriage rights now!

    If you believe in equal rights for all and want to see an end to discrimination then you need to come to this rally and show your support!

    The ACT Govt. recently passed civil unions for same-sex couples and the Victorian Labor Party has adopted a policy of same-sex marriage rights, this is a direct result of the success of the campaing thus far and we need to keep it up!

    See you there!

    Same-Sex Marriage campaign is Full Steam ahead!!

    October 16th, 2009 | By SSMUWS

    This year, the need for equality of all is shining a very important light on pursuing equality for same-sex relationships, and the rights they deserve to Same-Sex Marriage. UWS Students have jumped onboard, and are taking part in the national rally happening on the 28th of November, 1pm, infront of Sydney’s Town Hall. As socially conscious students, empowered by our learnings here at UWS, we know about the injustice being dealt to same sex couples, and we have the power to make a statement and say we want equal rights for all!

    Anyone who is interested in being part of this can become part of the UWS campaign: we meet on Tuesdays, 2pm, on Bankstown campus, in Building 1, Room G.70 (The Student Union office, opposite the UWSConnect bookstore)

    Coming up next week we will be running a stall at Bankstown campus, to fundraise and give people an opportunity to sign the petition; to tell the government that we need equality.

    And then the following week we will be holding a movie screening and Barbeque to once again promote this cause, and give people more of a chance to ask us questions and get involved.

    If you’re interested please join our facebook group…

    And here is the ideas from a similar march in Washington…

    Cheers,

    The UWS Same-Sex Marriage Committee

    Changes to the Bachelor of Pyschology

    October 14th, 2009 | By President

    A number of students have raised concerns about the proposed changes to the BPsych degree at UWS.

    The main problems seem to be:

    • - The new program has NOT been accredited by the Australian Psychological Accreditation Council.
    • - Students have not been given the option to complete the program that they are currently enrolled in.
    • - The psychology elective pool has decreased by 65% for B.Psych students
    • - and more…

     

    UWS Psych has declined a meeting with The Hive to discuss this issue and instead has indicated that there will an open meeting at some point in the future TBA.

    The Hive will hold a meeting for all interested students at the Bankstown campus Monday the 19th of October at 11am to discuss the issue and work on a solution.

    UWS Exams Policy Con’t…

    October 14th, 2009 | By General Secretary

    I’ve had second thoughts about what I’ve proposed, that it may be too complex. So here is my new amendment to paragraph 22 of the proposed revised Examinations Policy:

    The normal duration of a Final Examination or Deferred Examination will be two hours, although professional accreditation requirements for a course might warrant three hours.

    No Final Examination or Deferred Examination should exceed three hours. If a two-hour Final Examination is proposed for a Unit of Study, that Unit of Study should at least have a one-hour Intra-session Examination if academically necessary.

    A three-hour Final Examination or Deferred Examination should weigh 50% of the Final Grade, and a two-hour Final Examination or Deferred Examination should weigh 40% of the Final Grade, although professional accreditation requirements for a course might warrant otherwise.
