AberDon Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Hoping to do a degree in Financial Services in a couple off year at somewhere like Napier, anyone know if 5 highers will make the cut? A friend of mine got an unconditional offer from Heriot Watt with 5 Bs. For accountancy. I'm sure 5 huggers would be good enough for Napier.

Mushroom Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I was there (though not involved in the incidents). It's not being handled well at all by the Union. Most of the Glasgow debaters are fuming (those actually involved are not active debaters but general GUU folk and former Board members). Aye, I noticed your name signed on a statement (released by dialectic society?). Again, not surprised. GUU culture can get pretty knobbish. Hence why things like the Iron Stomach are still official union events. Which is fucking vile incidentally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUU culture can get pretty knobbish. Hence why things like the Iron Stomach are still official union events. Which is fucking vile incidentally. Dialectic Society President (who I'm good friends with) is also a GUU debater and has released statements on behalf of them in relation to this, but the statement I and others signed was in a personal capacity as senior speakers at GUU debates (which is separate). We're determined that the due process in the disciplinary action doesn't just let the Union sweep it under the carpet or portray this as (primarily) a problem for debating when it's clearly a Union issue.

jmothecat Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I signed a petition doing the rounds on facebook, and liked a group talking about boycotting the GUU until action of some sort is taken, but it seems that the protest against misogyny at the GUU is being run by fairly extreme leftists and feminists. There is talk of a protest on Friday involivng exclusively female speakers. I struggle to understand why barring men from talking, in a protest about equality of gender, is productive. I like Glasgow Uni, but it seems that the leftists and extremists take control of anything that resembles a protest. On another topic, got an Email asking me to vote in the SRC election, but apparently only one person is running. Unsure whether to bother voting now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) There are quite a few where there are multiple candidates but only one is running for the president. I'm not surprised, it's a shit job. You can also "re-open nominations" when everyone on the ballot looks like a roaster. Also, due to conflicting communication on thesis binding, some students have paid £60 for binding when they could have got it for free. I paid £17. The level of incompetence is astounding sometimes.

It makes sensible political discourse around the uni rather tricky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 So apparently there is going to be a protest outside the GUU on Friday against the incidents of misogyny. For some reason they have decided to sell vagina cup cakes. How does disagreeing with incidents of blatant misogyny in a student union relate to putting genitals on food? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Anyone know anything about this shitstorm that's happening at EUSA just now? I don't care enough to actually want to find out myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thats absolute genius... Union board members were always utter fuds. Something good to put on a CV and an easy way to get stupid wee birds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bopolopoluss1 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Whats the script with student loans? Are they increasing? I got an email from SAAS today saying that changes were being made and that the maximum loan/bursary is rising to 7.5k? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan09 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 pretty sure anyone can claim up to £4500 next year, but thats all i know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I think the means tested loan is increasing from a maximum of £5599 to £7500, or something like that, and like Wellfan09 said, anyone can claim up to £4500, regardless of their financial situation. That's how I read it anyway... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get it done for free? May I ask where you got your dissertation printed/bound? My buddy had his done at the shop adjacent to the GUU, think he paid 35 quid for three bound spiral books.

Sloop John B Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Anyone know anything about this shitstorm that's happening at EUSA just now? I don't care enough to actually want to find out myself. Not sure, there was an EGM which filled the George Square lecture theatre and they had to get an additional theatre open to to video link it for another 100 folk to give the VP a vote of no confidence about mis conduct and they also got court order to censor a story. he narrowly survived, It then escalated to someone trying to get the president to resign. Somebody apparently brought popcorn to the debate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bopolopoluss1 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 So if you qualify for the highest loan/bursary amount this year, next year you'll get £7,250? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 You can get it done for free? May I ask where you got your dissertation printed/bound? My buddy had his done at the shop adjacent to the GUU, think he paid 35 quid for three bound spiral books. I could have spiral bound it myself but I got it down at a place in the centre for £17 for two copies. After being explicitly told we couldn't spiral bound. Before being told that we actually could spiral bind it and to ignore the previous email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
