Lincoln's Premier Student Newspaper
The incorrect use of ‘no platforming’ and ‘safe space’ policies, regulatory complexity and ‘unnecessary bureaucracy’ are limiting free speech at universities, a group of MPs and Lords has warned.
The University of Lincoln and the Students’ Union have been given an overall ‘red’ status for freedom of expression in this year’s Free Speech University Rankings.
The Students' Union held its first Student Council last Thursday, November 29th. The poor bus service to Riseholme was discussed and a No Platform policy was passed.
Amanda Davidson, the chair of the Student Union's Student Council, has hit out at the Union for failing to act before deadlines set before the Council.
At the last meeting of this academic year the Student Council voted to act against offensive groups by introducing a version of the NUS's controversial No Platform policy.
