A Selection of Tweets on the Course Rep Pay Debate
Some people have commented on the website, some people have contributed an entire guest post and now I want to bring you a selection of those who have Tweeted as part of engaging in the debate on ‘Should we pay Course Reps?‘:
Depts should have a mid-year poll where people say if they think course reps are doing a good job or not? Feedback helps. @wheelybarrow? xx

@sophs_ox @wheelybarrow yeh exactly like that. And maybe rewards for the course reps who poll highest. Course reps will do more xx

Re course reps debate. The idea of course reps is to represent students. Engagement in action. Why, then, has no-one discussed asking 1/2

2/2 ...course reps? How can we put students at the heart of the system whilst leaving them put of the depate on potential pay?

@antonybutcher Course reps may feel a greater affiliation to uni than the union, if they're the ones paying. Not great for us

@stylesm @danderricott @antonybutcher @UoNSU it was, only 1 out of 32 wanted the money over resources
