UWE should disaffiliate with the NUS due to their impending bankruptcy.

Extra Information:

The NUS is currently £5 Million in debt (£3 Million NUS and group wide of £5 Million deficit). It has clearly mislead all SU's around the country as Plymouth SU has recently voted on disaffiliating and limiting its liability from financial problems.

UWE should follow suit at the earliest opportunity so as to limit the damage from the downfall of the NUS.

UWE should not , as some within the NUS have stated, "Spend itself out of the crisis". This is just bad economics and will only harm UWE.
