Overview

Your voice matters. HISA held an All-Student Meeting on Wednesday 5th November 2025, from 1pm–2pm, to debate and vote on the below motion about whether to hold a referendum on National Union of Students (NUS) membership this academic year (2025–26).

HISA should hold a referendum on whether to leave NUS UK and NUS Charity.

This is an important opportunity for students to shape the conversation and ensure that any decision reflects the views of the whole student community. Whether you’re passionate about the issue or just want to understand more, your participation helps make the process fair, open, and truly representative.

You can read draft, unapproved minutes of this meeting here. But please note that these are not yet an official record of the meeting until they have been approved by a future All-Student Meeting.
