This afternoon, NUS National Conference resolved the following:
1. The VPHE, consulting with the NEC and education workers affected by the NSS (represented by UCU, NUS Postgrad Section, and the Fighting Against Casualisation in Education campaign), will determine the most effective boycott/sabotage strategy.
2. This will be done before June, when NUS will write to the government and announce that the NUS will mobilise students to sabotage or boycott the NSS and DLHE if the HE reforms and the TEF are not withdrawn.
3. If the government refuses to withdraw the HE reforms, to mobilise students to sabotage or boycott the Spring 2017 NSS, and the next year’s DLHE. The campaign should begin at the start of Autumn Term 2016 collecting pledges from students that they will carry out the action if the HE reforms are not withdrawn.
