SRC, USYD - Students' Representative Council, University of Sydney The SRC is the peak representative body for undergraduate students at Sydney University. The SRC has a long history of fighting for student power.

We stand for a free, fair and funded education, universal student unionism and a society free of discrimination and oppression. Our collectives are the hub of student activism on campus. Our staff provide vital services such as SRC HELP (free academic, Centrelink and tenancy advice & support) and our FREE legal service. We also publish Honi Soit, the oldest weekly student newspaper in the country.

It’s nearing the end of the semester but the SRC workload is instead ramping up, so here’s some of what I’ve been up to and things that you should be part of.

Last week, I went to NSW Parliament to speak to some MPs and MLCs about our current issues with threats to student unionism and student journalism from the University. Keep an eye out for more communications and developments concerning the campaign to protect the SRC’s independence, resourcing and power. This is not a new issue, but it is an existential one reaching a pinnacle that concerns all other student unions and freedom of expression across the country.

Recently, I also helped to promote and explain Thursday’s NTEU strike to students, was part of the picket at the Ross St entrance, and then spoke as a student representative afterwards at the rally. We must stand with staff in their fight for better conditions, and for a university that actually works for all of us.

This week, there are a range of events happening as part of the SRC’s “Radical Education Week,” the International Student Representative Council conference (which I am proud to be speaking at), and more. This Wednesday, our Representatives-Elect (Reps-Elect) meeting is taking place for all the new SRC councillors to vote in the Office-Bearer positions of the 99th SRC. On Thursday, there will be a cool forum that I have been working on against the University’s deal with Open AI. We will be hearing from students, staff and guest speakers on AI and this particular company.

Today the SRC President, SRC General Secretary, SRC Education Officer and Honi Soit editors met with NSW Parliament MPs to talk about our current issues with threats to student unionism and student journalism from the University.

A big thank you to our MPs for listening to and working with us on this existential issue that concerns all other student unions and freedom of express across the country.

This Thursday there is another strike as part of further industrial action by the NTEU to get better conditions and pay for our university staff! I encourage all students to not only not go to their classes, but also to attend the strike and pickets in solidarity. You can find out more via our strike info page on the SRC website or via this week’s edition of the SRC newsletter.

Last week, we had a great rally as part of the “hands off the SRC” campaign following the University’s investigations into and threats against the funding and independence of our student union. A big thank you goes to the National Union of Students and New South Wales Council for Civil Liberties for supporting us and speaking at the rally! The University Senate have received the open letter signed by over 600 students, staff, alumni and community members, and I am awaiting their response. In the same week, the University tried to censor and amend coverage in Feminist Honi Soit of an international student’s experience with sexual assault at one of the residential colleges, which is illustrative of their continued attempts to silence dissent and independent student unionists and journalists.

Keep an eye out for more updates on the above and more on the SRC Instagram, including the details for a forum on the Uni’s deal with Open AI that I am currently organising for Thursday 29 October.

Contract cheating is using a person or a company to write or edit any part of your assignment. If you are caught contract cheating, you risk being suspended or excluded from your degree. Using AI may also be considered cheating, so check with your tutor or with the unit of study outline to see what is allowed.

If you have received an allegation of contract cheating contact an SRC Caseworker, via our contact form: bit.ly/contact-a-caseworker
