Slop University's Strategic Plan 2026-2031 introduces TURNS, a booking, ceiling and cutoff instrument for the shared streaming account, with a named Household Steward in every enrolled household.
The 2026-2031 Strategic Plan books every enrolled screen a day ahead, holds the fourth-screen ceiling, and closes each session at the credit roll
Every household has an evening, and until now nobody has been asked to plan it. The University’s Strategic Plan 2026-2031 sets out an institutional answer: TURNS, the Titled-Use Rota for Nightly Streams, developed with the School of Continuous Improvement and offered to households across the University community.
A ceiling that can be waived is a suggestion, and a suggestion is not something a household can plan an evening around.

The plan positions the rota alongside the University’s established practice of allocating shared resources, and extends that practice into the setting where its community spends much of its leisure. In outline, TURNS asks each household to lodge a booking for every screen before the day before closes, publishes the evening’s allocation in advance, applies a fixed ceiling on concurrent streams, and brings each session to an ordinary end. A record of the whole is held in a nightly ledger open to the household it concerns, and each enrolled household names a Steward accredited through the School.
The University is proud to present the plan as a considered contribution to the settling of the domestic evening. Lecturer Solveig Adeyemi, who contributed to the plan’s evidence base, said the work reflected “a long-standing interest in how households come to agree on what is fair, and how much of that agreement can be written down in advance.”
