In September 2024 the Office for Students approved a name change for the University to become the University of Staffordshire.
Your Students Union is still registered with the Charity Commission as Staffordshire University Students’ Union. This means that the current legal name is no longer correct, and the Trustees of the Students Union propose to update the legal name of the Students Union to one that remains relevant.
To inform that process the Trustees would like to know whether you would prefer your Students Union to be formally known as:
a) University of Staffordshire Students’ Union
b) Staffordshire Students’ Union
As a result of this decision by students, the constitution, byelaws and all legal documents will be updated by replacing all references to Staffordshire University Students Union with the preferred [New Name] as passed by a simple majority (either a or b).
NB Almost all internal branding uses the Students Union (rather than the full legal name) therefore there will not be a need to spend significant time or money changing signage.
