Elect a full-time student representative for sport at the University of Portsmouth

Passed
This petition has been passed and will be actioned ASAP.
How Will This Idea Benefit Students?
The students’ union sabbatical re-structure makes it apparent that there will no longer be a sabbatical officer solely responsible for the representation of student sport at Portsmouth. The removal of the VP Sport will result in a lack of representation for one of the most engaged groups of students at the University and cause thousands of students to disengage with The Union. Furthermore, without a Sport Officer there will be nobody in place to facilitate the necessary relationship between Sport and Recreation and the Union.
A new Sport Officer could be added to the Union’s existing democratic structures so that those students who only engage with the Union via a sports club are fully represented. Additionally, this will provide an opportunity to establish a Sport Officer role to replicate the structure of other successful Universities, most notably The University of Nottingham and University of Manchester.
