SNS on youtube

To see the latest development in the Goldsmiths students Not suspects campaign please visit youtube and watch our 5 videos in response to the question:
Why is the new Points-Based System for Immigration such a bad idea?

1) The new rules disrupts the student-teacher relationship

2) PBIS is prone to bureaucratic error

3) The new rules are Racist and Classist

4) We want vibrant classrooms

5) Disrupts international exchange of ideas.

Public Meeting at Goldsmiths with Tony Benn.


Our campaign at Goldsmiths is gathering steam and our next event is the public meeting on the 8th February, at Goldsmiths SU.

We have a panel of guest speakers, including reps from the UCU, PEN and NUS, plus Tony Benn. They will be discussing the impact of PBI and the threat it poses to our civil liberties, both for overseas and British students.


Hope to see you there
