At the beginning of the year NUS consulted the membership on what our campaigning priorities for the year ahead should be. Invaluable feedback from members helped to shape NUS’ policy objectives and campaign tactics for the term ahead. These tactics include:
Week of action: Monday 12th – Friday 16th March: To take place on campuses across the country to demonstrate to VCs and principals that high fees, hidden course costs and a lack of bursaries are pricing students out of education, that postgraduate students need a better deal, and that students will not stand by and let the coalition government press ahead with its destructive plans to sell off and privatise our universities and colleges.
