Cambridge University Student’s Union (CUSU) Council has voted to hold a referendum on CUSU’s membership of National Union of Students (NUS) later this month. Varsity invites you to give your opinion on this referendum.

To ensure only University members can take part in this poll, the website will ask for a Raven log in. However, this poll is completely anonymous and we will not store or pass on any of your personal information. You may change your answers at any time, but only the final submission from your anonymous identity will be counted in the results.

The poll has now closed. We will be publishing the results shortly.

Varsity has prepared a guide to the referendum, summarising the key arguments and dates.

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!

Therefore we are asking our readers, if they wish, to make a donation from as little as £1, to help with our running costs. Many thanks, we hope you can help!
