Demand that Birkbeck first disclose the nature of its current investments and funding relationships, and then follow in the lead of Aberdeen University in the creation of an annual students committee to scrutinize the financial practices of Birkbeck. Students' tuition fees constitute 71% of Birkbeck’s income; the student body should play an active role in the decision making spaces of how these funds are used outside of the normal expected running costs of the University. Furthermore if the student body is trusted and given agency within the institution it will create a more engaged student experience and a stronger community.
