Campus activism stifled by venue booking delays
University Venues often takes weeks to respond to requests.
April 16, 2021
Activists on campus have said that their work has been stifled due to excessive delays by University Venues.
Under the University’s most recent COVID-19 event conditions, a venue booking request must be made 20 to 30 business days in advance, with more notice required for larger events.
However, SRC Office Bearers have told
Honi that it often takes much longer to hear back. “University Venues can sometimes go for weeks without responding to emails, and must be prompted over and over again to respond,” Environment Officer Lauren Lancaster said.
