Upstairs, Lucas Arms, 245A Grays Inn Rd, Kings X, London
Meeting to discuss NUS democracy campaigning and the way forward for
the student left
Called by Education Not for Sale - www.free-education.org.uk - but all
left activists are welcome
Following the close vote on the NUS leadership's anti-democratic
"Governance Review" at the Extraordinary Conference on 4 December,
there is every chance of defeating these reforms at NUS Conference in
April. ENS is therefore giving over its planned activists' meeting to
an open discussion of the campaign, as well as other ideas for taking
the student activist left forward.
(It should be stressed that this is NOT an official meeting of the
Save NUS Democracy campaign, though everyone involved in that campaign
is very welcome.)
The agenda will be open, but discussions will include:
- Assessment of the Extraordinary Conference; how to move forward with
the campaign to defend NUS democracy
- Attempting to get a united left slate for the full-time NUS NEC
elections (an invitation has been sent to Student Respect, SWSS and
others to attend)
- Organising a conference on the way forward for the student movement
in the new year (a suggested venue is Sussex Uni)
- Free education campaigning
