The future of rent rises across the University is looking no more certain. The rents issue will soon be up for debate again in Emmanuel and Churchill colleges. CUSU President Mat Coakley refuted suggestions that the rent issue had been allowed to slide in favour of access officer campaigns. The discussions have always been college ventures that CUSU supports. The results of last years' strikes are going through the process of discussion.
High rents have a destructive impact on student communities and create ghettoisation.
But CUSU will fully support them in whatever action they decide to take. I encourage them to think hard about what the proposals would mean for access. He immediately resigned but stays on the Access and Costs Committee.
