In the University of Technology Sydney Students’ Association’s (UTSSA) latest crackdown on activist collectives, a number of office-bearers have been asked to sign a declaration of good behaviour. The declaration outlines that they will agree to follow the UTSSA by-laws, Constitution and Association Code of Conduct, or else face the removal of privileges or even dismissal.
The UTSSA has imposed sanctions on a number of office-bearers, which include rescinding swipe access and refusing access to Association spaces and expenditure. The affected portfolios include Education Officer, Ethnocultural Officers, Environmental Convenors, Women’s Officer and Queer Convenors.
