Left unity in NUS: an update

Last week, ENS sent the Another Education is Possible campaign a letter making the case for a united left slate for the executive elections at this year’s NUS conference (13-15 April).

For this letter see www.free-education.org.uk/?p=661.

This was raised at the AEIP steering committee by an ENS supporter. The response from the Socialist Workers Party comrades who organise that body was quite negative, and so far ENS has yet to receive a reply from AEIP. We’re sorry about that.

However, ENS supporters have been approached by NUS LGBT (Open Place) Officer Daf Adley, flagging up the possibility of discussions involving ENS, AEIP and other left-wing student activists about establishing a united slate. These should take place soon, and we will let you know more information when we have it.
