Last week, we held a members' meeting on Monday 6 December to discuss the motion ‘KCLSU calls on KCL to return to offering all lectures in person’ and understand what students' views were on this.

Students under the Keep it Real Campaign who called for this meeting are concerned that KCL senior decision-makers intend to maintain online lectures as a permanent fixture, as University management have yet to confirm teaching plans for Term 2 and there is no transparent approach to indicate when the University intends to reinstate in-person lectures.

After the meeting, we also opened a poll on the motion, which closed on Wednesday. The results of the poll showed that students have voted FOR the motion ‘KCLSU calls on KCL to return to offering all lectures in person’ and FOR both amendment 1 and 2, which were submitted by students before the meeting. 

Our position now as a Union is to call on KCL to return to offering all lectures in person.

The vote breakdown is as follows:

• Total Voters: 1719
• FOR: 1202
• AGAINST: 400
• ABSTAIN: 117
