Vision says…
For Brian Cantor to be claiming such high expenses out of the accounts of our university is simply unacceptable.
At a time when money is tight these extra thousands could have helped fund bursaries, buoyed up student welfare systems or simply been spent on increasing often sparse contact hours.
For our Vice-Chancellor to be claiming more than his counterpart in Oxford, a university which is one of the richest and most prestigious in the world, just shows that something must be wrong in the system.
Vision has found that many of these costs could have been avoided with a little bit of careful planning. We can only hope that the university will conduct a thorough review.

Thanks to the Trustee Board and the efforts of Rhianna Kinchen, Vision is pleased that the future of Kids Camp is no longer in jeopardy.
The project is beneficial to both York students and children in our community. It has been running for over 40 years and it’s survival is vital to the continuation of good relations with the residents in our surrounding area.
York students get so much out of living here in York that it is good to see us giving something back.

Dodgy Landlords are a students worst nightmare. Our sympathies go out to anybody who is unfairly taken advantage of by a landlord looking to make a quick buck.
Students should remember that they too have rights and to take every precaution necessary to ensure that they are not taken for a ride.
Keeping your relationship with your landlord professional has mutual benefits for all. Simple steps, such as requesting an inventory and taking photos when you first move in, are all it takes to avoid a world of trouble.
