Candidates’ statements

Amelia Grace Wilson-Williams

Hi UTS Law students! I am seeking re-election to the Faculty Board in Law for a third year.

During my time on Faculty Board, I have raised issues affecting students and brought
forward motions advocating for reform. My advocacy has addressed Canvas and cohesive subject communication, outdated learning materials, fairness in assessments, teaching standards, accessibility, disability inclusion and Special Consideration policy deficits.

In 2025, I worked with student representatives to elevate student concerns to the ViceChancellor regarding proposed Faculty restructuring under OSI.

I also currently represent students on Academic Board, Teaching and Learning Committee, as UTSSA Disabilities Officer and an ActivateUTS Student Board Director, advocating for accessibility, educational equity, student consultation, stronger student-Faculty partnership and meaningful institutional reform. 

Jacqueline Lee

I am a penultimate-year Law student seeking election to the Faculty Board in Law because I want to provide meaningful representation during a time of significant change for our faculty. Over the course of my degree, I have developed a strong understanding of how different subject structures, teaching approaches, and learning environments shape the student experience. With new partnerships such as HarveyAI and recent changes to staff and leadership, it is important that students are not only informed, but genuinely heard in the decisions shaping their legal education. I want to continue assisting the Faculty Board in Law’s development whilst also ensuring student perspectives are heard and reflected in faculty discussions especially in relation to classroom and subject engagement and requirements. If elected, I will be fully committed to ensure the student body’s interest remains at the forefront of development and decision making.  

Naveera Khan

I am a fourth-year Business (Finance) and Law student committed to strong student representation, advocacy and enhancing the student experience. As President of Women in Business, I lead a community of over 1,000 students, developing my leadership, governance and stakeholder engagement skills. As an Undergraduate Student Representative on the Faculty Board in Law, I contribute to faculty decision-making and represent the interests of over 3,000 law students.

My experience on the Student Misconduct Appeals Committee has strengthened my understanding of procedural fairness, impartial decision-making and integrity. Through the Law Students’ Society, mooting and skills-based competitions, I understand the diverse academic and co-curricular needs of law students.

If re-elected, I will bring experience, integrity and a student-focused perspective to advocate for meaningful improvements to the student experience. 

Chantelle Truong

I am nominating for the Faculty Board in Law because I want to advocate for practical changes that make studying Law at UTS more supportive, accessible and student-focused.

If elected, my main priority would be advocating for optional assignment workshops and Zoom check-ins before major assignments and exams. These sessions would allow students to clarify expectations, ask questions, and feel more confident about what is required.

I would also ensure that exemplars are to be provided for all hand-in assessments where appropriate, giving students a clearer understanding of the expected standard, structure, and application of marking criteria. 

As a student representative, I would prioritise listening to the concerns and experiences of Law students and communicating them clearly to the Faculty Board. I aim to be an approachable and constructive representative who advocates for practical improvements reflecting students’ needs. 

Mahir Munot

As a third-year journalism and law student, I have heard and experienced it all. The countless, passionate discussions about everything law school offers, specifically the issues and calls for improvement regarding class participation, structure of law subjects, teaching methods and assignments and workload. Precision and attention sit at the heart of studying law, and if voted in, I will do everything in my power to consult you as a student to precisely identify and attentively raise the concerns that you face inside and outside the classroom, so that they can best be dealt with from a core strategic policy lens. I have also just completed a two-year term on the board of ActivateUTS, and I cannot wait to bring my unequivocal approach to advising on decisions made by the Faculty of Law Board, always with law students’ best interests at the forefront of my mind.
