      I mean, in fairness it's been hugely expanded from a very low base, but at some point you hit barriers to expansion that can't be quickly overcome (e.g. lack of properly trained lab techs).

      Again, something that needs to have been done from the start. I don’t know exactly what the solutions are here only that none inspire confidence. Watching universities reopen in the States and now the UK...seems bad.

      I mean, yeah, that's the real crux. The strategy should have been as little f2f as possible, instead of as much f2f as possible, from day 1. Once that decision was made, all the rest of these discussions are just mitigation...

      That’s the thing. Pushing for F2F stuff and the focus on hygiene theatre like making it academic staff responsibility to sanitize surfaces when we should have just been preparing for online, which will inevitably be the situation anyway, is ridiculous.

      And the SU president is out here saying he’s pushing for as much F2F teaching as possible to avoid what happened at the other institutions and I’m like, stop putting this on us.

      The real problem is a wider cultural one (shared by too many students), which sees university as an extension of school - so once schools re-opened f2f (which they had to, even if I don't agree with how they did it), unis got lumped w/ it too. (Cf. the obsession w/ contact hours)

      Yeah you're right about that. But I think that the government sees university the same way.

      I'm just perpetually angry that I can't even get some answers from those who are meant to represent us, but you know my feelings on our student gov't

      I remain in awe of your ability to stay angry at the (G)SU - it's an organisational form designed deliberately to be ineffective and unable to effect any meaningful change. I have been deeply cynical and apathetic towards them for the best part of a decade.

      Since I’ve been here I have been closer to the GSU than I wanted to be, but I have seen a range of effectiveness there. But those who are good in their roles are limited by those who are doggedly terrible.

          I haven’t cared to say anything publicly though until now. Now I think it is just necessary to keep to pressure on. Even if it amounts to nothing at least others will see just how bad it is.

          Most people ignore student government because they think it’s ineffectual. It certainly often is, but I have seen when it isn’t so I know what’s possible.

          I have seen individual officers be effective by acting as communicators/lobbyists, cultivating relationships w/ ppl who can actually change stuff, usually on a local, departmental level. But as an institution or an overall organisation, I've never been convinced.

          It definitely comes down to the individual. I think a large part of the issue is a cycle, so we get people wanting to be pres or VP for the CV and pay, but because of that people don’t care about the GSU and then we get ppl in who are petty and bad at their jobs.
