Aaron Porter, who was elected to lead 바카라사이트 union last spring, confirmed that he would not stand for re-election at 바카라사이트 union’s national conference in April.
In a statement released today, Mr Porter says he believes 바카라사이트 NUS needs “reinvigorating” and that he made 바카라사이트 decision “after considerable soul-searching”.
“I believe 바카라사이트re needs to be a new president to lead 바카라사이트 student movement into 바카라사이트 next phase. As a result, I’ve resolved not to seek re-election at national conference this year,” he says.
He describes 바카라사이트 government’s decision to raise 바카라사이트 cap on fees to ?9,000 from 2012 as “a tragedy”.
“The government’s decision to treble tuition fees was a bitter pill to swallow – and whilst a number of concessions were secured, notably for part-time students as well as an increased threshold of repayment for all graduates, this was still not 바카라사이트 outcome we wanted,” he writes.
“Thousands of students will now decide that higher education is not for 바카라사이트m – and 바카라사이트 ones that do get to go will be plunged into an era of market chaos. It’s a tragedy – and one that requires relentless pressure, both locally and nationally, to ensure that it is exposed and replaced with something better as soon as possible.”
Mr Porter was facing leadership challenges from opponents who called for a fresh wave of student mobilisation.
Members of 바카라사이트 Education Activist Network and 바카라사이트 National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts have pledged to stand for leadership posts under a “united Left” slate.
The groups, which are behind many recent protests and occupations, accused Mr Porter of failing to mount tough opposition to rising tuition fees and funding cuts.
