You Said...We Did...

A host of new initiatives have now been introduced as a result of students hilighting issues in the National Student Survey (NSS). These are:

1)     You said: Can we have longer LRC/library opening times at the main campuses?

We did: From 7 Jan 2013 the libraries at Luton and Bedford will be open 24/7.

2)     You said: We would really like a bar at Bedford.

We did: A new bar and social hub in the Bedford’s Students’ Union will open January 10.

3)     You said: We need more books in the library and access to more science journals.

We did: £100,000 allocated - £62,000 already spent on buying multiple copies of books –more to be spent on books and access to science e-journals.

4)     You said: Can you please communicate changes to the timetable better?

We did: A new text alert system, where changes will be relayed to students from Faculty office, has been purchased and will be rolled out in January.

5)     You said: How can we get access to more and faster computers?

We did: Tendering for 450 PCs (worth £300,000) has started and a programme to start replacing old ones in Bedford, Putteridge Bury and Luton is scheduled for February.
