OULD were proud to field a full slate of candidates in the elections for OUSU delegates this year, as well as three undergraduate executive officers.

Standing as "Lib Dems for Students", we enjoyed significant success as a party as well as for the personal appeal of the candidates, the votes cast clearly reflecting Oxford Students recognition that the Lib Dems are indeed the "Number 1 Choice for Students" as the recent "FACE" poll made clear.

We are the only party that can credibly claim to stand up for the following, because it is at the heart of our national policy:
Equal opportunities for all, and respect for diversity, and appropriate measures to advance under-represented groups
Reintroducing fairer funding for the higher education sector as a whole - restoring a living student grant, abolishing tuition fees and vehemently opposing top-up fees and commercial interest rates on student loans
but also ensuring that universities have sufficient funds to continue to deliver the highest quality academic services possible (increased library opening hours, and retaining the tutorial system)
We believe that this is intrinsically linked to widening access to Oxford for all who can best benefit from study here.

Linsey Cole, Louise Radnofsky and Daniel Rees were all elected as Executive Officers. They are now responsible between them for the major portfolios of: Target Schools, Disabilities Action, Women's Campaign, Queer Rights, Equal Opportunities, Finance and Funding and One World. Please feel free to contact them if you have any concerns.

The following people are your Lib Dem OUSU delegates and are also accountable to YOU - so let them know how you feel about with any concerns any issue which OUSU deals with:

Steve Harper, Naomi Pendle, Tom Lubbock, Mark Wardrop, Sam Mooring.

Finally, OUSU elections take place every Michaelmas Term. If you're interested in being a Lib Dem candidate next year, please get in touch!
