As chief executive of the students’ union, it is not common for me to make statements — our amazing student leaders are usually, and rightly, the voice of the [Student Union]. But today, I find myself in a unique position where, after reading the experiences of black students’ involvement with the students’ union, I need to publicly speak to our black students.
I have failed you…we have a strong history of Black student leaders and Black student officers who have […] pushed the Students’ Union and the University to change. If we are honest with ourselves, we have not always done enough to make that change happen.
