National Union of Students Affiliation Referendum

If YES wins Leeds Beckett Students’ Union will remain affiliated with NUS UK and continue to take part in national student representation and campaigning through the organisation. If NO wins Leeds Beckett Students’ Union will leave NUS UK and will no longer be a member of the political and campaigning body. Regardless of the outcome, our affiliation with NUS Charity will remain unchanged. For the result to meet Quorum: a minimum of 4% of LBSU members (943) must cast a vote for the referendum to be valid

Should Leeds Beckett Students’ Union remain affiliated to NUS UK?
