Hold an EGM to discuss the end of DUSA's club nights.

The Issue

DUSA has made the decision to end it's weekly club nights without due consultation with it's ordinary members (enrolled students at the University of Dundee). For many people, club nights at the Union are considered the safest, cheapest and most well-regulated student nights out in the city.

Replacing these club nights with "festivals" to be held throughout the year is a poor replacement for those who want to regularly socialise with their friends in a nightlife setting and in a safe envrionment.

Uproar online amongst the student body since the announcement has proven that there is an appetite for consultation.

DUSA's Bye-Law 4, section 4.1 allows for an EGM to be held "by a secure online petition of 125 ordinary members." Through an EGM, a motion can be proposed for a referendum on the issue and ordinary members will have the opportunity to express their opinions on why this is/is not a poor decision.

DUSA is a students' organisation, acting in this capacity with little regard for its' students opinions. Club nights are not all that make up a great student experience, but there is no logical basis in ending these nights if students feel safer there than in other clubs in the city centre.

Please only sign this petition if you are a currently enrolled student at the University of Dundee. That way we can present this as a "secure online petition" that provides a mandate for an EGM. #SaveClubNights
