Say YES to the Press! NO to Censorship!

We the undersigned, request that the Students Union hold a referendum at the soonest possible date for the following question, “Should the Union change the constitution and bylaws on media groups point 2.1 from

‘media groups shall remain neutral in all elections and matters concerning both party and Students’ Union politics’ to

‘media groups shall not explicitly support any named candidate in elections, or any named political party. Student media shall not be censored in any way but because of the above forementioned, or the restrictions of national law, in any medium. Only an elected paid member of the executive or a trustee can request output to be changed or removed, and the number of these requests must be published and made public at each session of Union Council.’”

If you believe that these measures should be enforced, and to have a more autonomous newspaper that cannot be shut down for the exec simply, "not liking the material." Sign this e-petition now with your UoL e-mail address for verification as a University of Leicester Student. 

Thank you for your support!
