Vision Says…
The most awarded student newspaper in the country, York Vision, is once again holding elections for all editorial positions at the end of Week 2. If you want to run for a position or would like to try your hand at writing, photography or anything else you think you can bring to our newspaper team, then we would love for you to come along.
After all, with the government’s far reaching funding cuts forthcoming this could well be your last chance to get involved before the University has to close all societies just to afford to reopen the second floor of the library.
Thumbs Up To…
Vision would like to thank the York Annual Fund team for a generous grant of £1,000! The Annual Fund is a vital source of funding for York societies and makes a remarkable contribution to University life.
This year the fund awarded £123,353 across campus, money that will widen access to York, support colleges, departments and enhance the student experience of many individuals.
Vision’s grant will secure our financial future and allow us to invest in equipment that will enable us to produce our award-winning newspaper long into the future.
Thumbs Down To…
There’s nothing wrong with Jane Grenville’s desire to present the University Council with a selection of students who reflect our diverse campus population.
Misleading Tim Ngwena however is something much worse; he is rightly offended at being held up as a ‘token black person’.
Grenville should have been honest with Tim from the start. She should have been honest with the Council. Scripting a video that is meant to reflect the views of ‘real’ students is insulting to both us and them.
