Kingston Student Union bans the military
Military-Free Zone | 28.11.2008 16:09 | Anti-militarism | Education | Iraq | World
At yesterday's Student Union AGM, Kingston University students voted to "ban Military Forces from Promoting on Campus".
KU students passed a motion stating that "British troops should be withdrawn immediately from Iraq and Afghanistan" and that "the OTC, RAF, Royal Navy, TA, and Army are not allowed promotion or recruiting stalls at our fresher's fair and on the Kingston University campuses". This means that KU is a Military-Free Zone for the next 3 years. During the debate students discussed "economic conscription" in the current climate of economic crisis, Michael Moore's docu-film Fahrenheit 9/11 and a general feeling of disgust at the war in Iraq. This follows recent actions against the military at Sussex University.
