STUDENT RESPECT

FUND EDUCATION, NOT WAR

About Me

Student RESPECT was founded as the student wing of the Respect Party in 2005 to provide a united campaigning organisation of the radical left in the student movement. It has achieved notable successes in Unions like University of Manchester and the School of African and Oriental Studies in both pulling together the anti-war left and being an organisation capable of winning fulltime positions. Student Respect currently has elected officers in Manchester, Leeds, SOAS, Goldsmiths, Plymouth and Middlesex plus a member of the NUS National Executive
