The Review
In 2005, Leeds University Union carried out a major review of its facilities ('The Review'), through discussion groups with members, in order to ascertain the current needs of members and propose changes for the future. In November 2005, the outcome of the Review was put to a ballot for acceptance by members, and was successful in being accepted. There was some criticism of the Review as the ballot gave members the option to either accept all the proposed changes or reject all the changes, with no option in between.
Following the Review, LUU drew up a three-page plan to outline the plans based on this for the three years from 2006-2009. A number of changes have been carried out already in 2006 - mainly to the structure and layout of the building (the relocation of some retail units, and a refurbishment of Stylus and Pulse).
Now LUU is currently in the process of creating a new strategic plan for 2010 - 2014. When put to the student population for Referendum in November 2009, of the 2404 Students that voted, 93% opted to say 'yes' for the implementation of the 'new strategic plan'. Ideas generated from a LUU Strategic Plan survey will be set into themes and projects and acted on over the next 4 years.

Famous quotes containing the word review:
“Americans have internalized the value that mothers of young children should be mothers first and foremost, and not paid workers. The result is that a substantial amount of confusion, ambivalence, guilt, and anxiety is experienced by working mothers. Our cultural expectations of mother and realities of female participation in the labor force are directly contradictory.”
—Ruth E. Zambrana, U.S. researcher, M. Hurst, and R.L. Hite. “The Working Mother in Contemporary Perspectives: A Review of Literature,” Pediatrics (December 1979)
“As I review my life, I feel I must have missed the point, either then or now.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
