NUS pulls out of free education demo
Students disgusted by last-minute about-face
Organisers of a march for free education denounced the National Union of Students (NUS) yesterday after the organisation retracted its support at the 11th hour.
Campaigners were not best pleased with a statement from the NUS executive arguing that the November 19 demonstration could pose an "unacceptable level of risk" to participants.
National Campaign Against Fees & Cuts (NCAFC) spokeswoman Hannah Sketchley told the Star people were "incredibly disappointed" in the NUS.
