    Reduce volume of the background music in the Student Union Building

    Currently, the Student Union building plays music constantly across the lower floor and cafeteria. This is unnecessary and a barrier to entry for people with sensory needs. The SU should, at the very least, offer quiet hours or days so those of us with sensory sensitivities can enjoy all aspects of the university.

    Tell us more about why you want the Students' Union to do it

    Consistent music adds background noise that can increase overstimulation and decrease focus. Individuals with auditory processing issues and hearing loss have to struggle to distinguish their own conversations, others' conversations, and music. The SU prides itself on physical accessibility, yet does nothing to help its neurodiverse students.
