[committee] UCC - diversity issues

[Felix von Perger]

Hi Conrad,

As President of the University Computer Club, I would like to ask for 
assistance from the UWA Student Guild to fix what I see are a number of 
issues with the club's culture.

The UCC has a serious lack of diversity amongst its active member base 
and committee, and has had for an extended period of time. Especially 
compared to the other clubs in Cameron Hall, and the University 
community in general, there is a noticeable imbalance in the gender 
distribution of our members and absence of LGBTQI+ individuals.

Furthermore, following events over the past few weeks, it has come to my 
attention that the UCC has a reputation throughout the University as 
being unwelcoming if not outright discriminatory towards women and 
certain minority groups including queer and trans people.

I understand that the Guild and the University have access to resources 
which could be of great benefit to the UCC in resolving these issues. 
Would you be please able to connect us with representatives from the 
Women and Queer departments, as well as anyone else you think would be 
able to provide input?

If you have any thoughts on how we could go about having this discussion 
and facilitating positive change, please let me know.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Felix von Perger
UCC President
