We are aware of social media posts, related to our student officers. Due to ongoing proceedings surrounding this matter, we are not currently able to comment on the specific details of the social media posts related to our sabbatical officers.

We recognise this is a distressing time for students and staff, many of whom have been personally impacted and will have strong feelings and opinions on the matter. We remain committed to freedom of speech, especially when debating contentious issues – this is a fundamental democratic principle we hold dear.  At the same time, we have clear governance policies and procedures, which must be followed and we must respect and maintain the confidentiality. 

We want to remind students of the importance of treating each other with kindness and respect at all times, both online and in-person.  Racism, Antisemitism, Islamophobia, abuse, incitement, and harassment or any other prejudice and discrimination have no place at KCLSU.
