Arts Group at NUS Annual Conference
Carly Aslett of SUARTS delivers the summation of our motion “NUS Arts Representation and support for small and specialist students’ unions”
The Arts Group landed with a bang at NUS Annual conference as both our motions sailed through. You can look at pictures of the conference and find out about all the resolves by clicking here
Amongst other things our motions passing included mandates for the NUS around:
- Formal recognition of the Arts Group
- Responsibility for the Arts, and Small and Specialist Institutions to be allocated to members of the National Executive Committee (NEC)
- Support to work on our campaigns on Hidden Course Costs and Foundation Diplomas
The Arts Group Official Launch Party was well attended, with Aaron Porter (re-elected VPHE) delivering a stirring address, and liquid refreshment courtesy of the Art, Design, Media Subject Centre. We were please to see so many new potential members attend, and look forward to seeing more fresh faces at the next meeting.
Thanks to all for the hard work, and especially our speakers at Conference: Danny McNeice from Loughborough, Chris Griffin from the Courtauld Institute, and Carly Aslett from Arts London.
More updates on what we’re doing with our new support soon!
