AYY’s press releases and statements
We demand decision-makers to show backbone and eradicate racism
Student unions AYY, HYY, ISYY, JYY, SHS, TYY, TREY, VYY, ÅAS, OYY, LTKY and ArtSU are dismayed at the state of the ongoing racism debate in society and demand concrete measures to eradicate racism. Racist statements made by people in high places have shown what is wrong with racism debate: people targeted by racism are not listened to, racist comments are diminished or taken as a joke, and the debate gets sidetracked. We need anti-racist actions, understanding and solidarity.
Changes to AYY's resident selection will enter into force gradually as of 1 September 2023
In June, we published information on the upcoming changes to Aalto University Student Union’s resident selection, which will be changed in accordance with new housing regulations approved by the Representative Council and the related resident selection appendix. The changes are based on the ARA regulations and the new Act on Interest Subsidy for Rental Housing Loans and Right of Occupancy Housing Loans, which oblige the student union to allocate housing more accurately to those who need them the most.The gradual change will enter into force when the new Act on Interest Subsidy for Rental Housing Loans enters into force on 1 Sept 2023. In the Act, a resident selection task is considered a public administrative task and includes a provision on official liability, which obliges the student union to implement resident selection in a more precise manner as required by legislation.
Student register discriminates gender minorities – we demand actions from universities
Pride month won’t go unnoticed: universities wave rainbow flags and say beautiful words about supporting LGBTQIA+ minorities. But how is the reality – how does for example supporting gender minorities come true at the moment?
Changes to AYY’s resident selection in the autumn
Changes will be made to the resident selection of Aalto University Student Union. The changes are related to the reform of housing regulations. We will provide more information on changes in the autumn once the systems have been tested and we can implement the changes.Logo Bank
