This Union Council meeting covered topics including the Officer Trustee goals, rent negotiations, and the democracy review.

Emina, the DP Education, and Nico, the DP Welfare, presented their goals for this year. The other Officer Trustees, as well as the Felix Editor, gave updates.

Rent negotiations were a major focus, with Camille, the Union President, and Nico updating Council on their efforts to reduce proposed rent increases, including the removal of £1.2 million in warden housing costs. They asked Council for their thoughts on strategies, such as an open letter or a petition, to lobby the University to reduce the increases further.

The ongoing democracy review was discussed, with the external consultant presenting draft recommendations for improving student representation and Council structure, including considerations for postgraduate students and the potential restructuring of officer roles.
