Below is the Union's position on the Better Staffs Forum's decision to boycott The Sun from all Union shops. Please note this does not mean the newspaper has been banned from the campus as a whole.
Commenting on the Better Staffs Forum vote for the Students' Union to boycott The Sun, Union Vice President Mel Ramsay said: "This boycott has been voted for as students believe The Sun presents itself as a family friendly publication yet contains adult content. The forum believes this boycott should not be extended to adult magazines like FHM as it is quite clear what content they contain and all Union shops already provide vanity covers for the more risque publications.
"As a Union we respect student members' rights through these forums to set union policy, as agreed in the Union constitution. We also encourage any members that would like to discuss this or any other policy to propose a discussion point at
www.staffsunion.com/betterstaffs and attend the next Better Staffs Forum on 19 May 2014."
