so the OUSU fun continues.

the non-OUSU-funded student newspaper is hocking me about disaffiliation.  are we really disaffiliated?  (i have chosen to reply that we are unaffiliated, keeping my verbs and my adjectives separate, but i haven't explicitly called the reporter's attention to this.)  why?  what are the consequences?  do we still get the welfare benefits OUSU provides?  (me:  To the extent that OUSU provides welfare benefits to postgraduates, our students [as de facto individual members of OUSU] are entitled to avail themselves of those benefits.)  what about attendance and voting rights at OUSU Council?  are we affiliated with NUS?

sigh.

i understood from your JCR president at last term's meeting with the proctors that you all vote annually on whether to reaffiliate (and for the past five or six years have voted no). unsurprising, really, the politics of OUSU and Oriel being respectively what they are. ;-)
