Oxford university students have voted to disaffiliate from the National Union of Students as dissatisfaction from both left and right mounts across Britain
Oxford university students have voted to disaffiliate from the National Union of Students (NUS) and more students’ unions may follow.
An NUS spokeswoman said that it “respects the decision taken this week in the referendum” following the vote on Wednesday to break from the main confederation.
She added that the union will continue to make “the case for the considerable benefits affiliation brings to students.”
