After several offers from myself to help the new Regional Students’ Association President Pat Seery with the RSA web page she has inevitably let it die, failing to renew this essential resource for students.
On the day of the elections I offered to help her with the web page if needed, during the hand over two days after I offered to help her with the website, a week later when showing her how to access her emails and the website I again offered to help her with the website. Three times she ignored my offers and now the conclusion is no website for Rockingham and Peel Murdoch University students.
This decision to ignore the need of students at Rockingham and Peel is one which will reach a national level. Gone is the only national Small and Regional Support network, gone is the only Australian VSU Library documenting many issues of VSU from both sides of politics.
But worst of all gone is an essential service for Rockingham and Peel Students. One of the few they had left and it was from their peak representational body the Regional Students Association.
Students have not only lost their website, they have lost Archives of the RSA and progress it has made - locally and nationally, open forums for students, mailing lists to promote the RSA to students and staff, online classifieds, book co-operative, national support network and most of all it has lost its online democratic voice!
Goodbye RSA
