Just weeks before election time, and The International Party's mission remains the same: improve the level of accessibility and equality at Stockholm University. One of our biggest points that we wish to fix is the continued provision of outdated information, or the lack of information, offered to international students.
TIP wishes to highlight these points by examining the information offered by electoral and executive board, as their english pages remain outdated. The electoral board's pages remain outdated and lacks information for students to learn more about the elections - despite several requests for updating. The union's executive board's page remains outdated for nearly 2 years despite requests for updating, offering international students outdated versions of the constitution and mission statements with little relation to to the 2010-2011 academic year.
The point of displaying the images below involves nothing more than to demonstrate a small example of the level of inequality that exists in student politics between international students and swedish students. TIP suggests that the information on these pages be updated as soon as possible.We understand the difficulty of managing information distribution in both languages, but the focus should remain on moving forward and not moving backwards. International students are equally as involved in student affairs at Stockholm University and share an equal vision towards making Stockholm University a more enjoyable and inspiring place to study, therefore they should be offered the same opportunity to acquire information - especially an updated version of the constitution, of all things.
