SOAS calls for NUS president to resign!!

A motion was passed at last weeks UGM calling on NUS (National Union of Students) President Wes Streeting to resign over his handling of racism at NUS events. apparently, and understandably, this has caused quite a stir at NUS headquarters!

The motion also called for disaffiliation from the NUS. I argued for and won the vote to remove this part. The NUS needs to be a strong, fighting, more political body and this will only happen with strong, fighting, political constituent members within it.
