The Central Student Council and Elections at UvA
By Suchismita (Suchi) Roy
The University of Amsterdam (UvA) conducts annual elections for the Central Student Council (CSR) and Faculty Student Councils (FSR), empowering students to choose representatives who work on a range of issues from campus facilities to academic policies. The CSR, comprising 14 members, holds monthly meetings with the Executive Board to propose and implement solutions, ensuring students' interests are prioritized. Notably, the CSR led impactful initiatives like menstrual equity. Similarly, the FSR collaborates with deans to address faculty-specific concerns and revise academic regulations. Both councils operate in unison, addressing diverse university challenges. Post-election, agendas are set for monthly meetings to discuss pertinent issues, demonstrating a commitment to promoting positive improvements within the UvA community.
Stirring the Pot: Inside Anti-Kantine's Campaign for Affordable Food at UvA
Anti-Kantine has made quite the name for itself: major protest, over 600 signatures on Change.Org, and successful implementation of the “basic meal” at UvA canteens. But what else is on the agenda for Anti-Kantine? In a recent interview, Noah Bisinger – one of the main organizers – told us more about the roots of the movement and what lies ahead.
