SWANSEA University students’ union has voted to take part in the NUS demo 2012.
In the recent student forum, students opted to take part in the demonstration, by 54 votes to 38.
The subject was the most closely contested motion, with several students speaking in favour of it, one student expressing their concern and one speaking against it.
The demonstration, which is named “#demo2012: Educate, Employ, Empower”, will take place on Wednesday, November 21.
The NUS website says: “We need your help to show the government how angry we are at their betrayals and broken promises.”
The march will take place in London from Temple tube station to Kennington.
Zahid Raja, Swansea University students’ union education officer said: “The debate was set out stating that there would be zero financial implications on the students’ union which is significant in order to maintain the current levels of investment in improving your university experience. “
“I’d like to use this opportunity to thank UCU for funding a coach so those who would like to take part, can do so together. “
Swansea Metropolitan University students have voted not to take part in the demo.
