"Bring Back Slavery"?
Staff and students | 01.10.2008 08:19 | Anti-racism | Education
It has been reported in the press that at a National Union of Students (NUS) event this summer, Nottingham University Students' Union, Education Officer, Craig Cox, held up a poster saying 'Bring back slavery'. The NUS subsequently removed Craig Cox from the event following complaints from other student representatives present. Our Student Union officers attending NUS events are there to represent all Nottingham students. We believe that such behaviour is unacceptable and does not reflect our views.
Slavery is one of the greatest crimes in human history. Such comments can only serve to bring this university into disrepute. Nottingham University must be a welcoming, anti-racist environment that reflects the diversity of the student body.
