Assessment comments.

This article is particularly one-sided -- there are no citations supplied when contending that the Government has failed to meet this or that demand from this union.

Since there is an arbitrary scale to place university pages on, I shall give it a C, until citations are found and that other arguments are duly considered to formulate a neutral point of view.

Not sure why we need to know who designed the union's logo

[edit] student demonstations against the industrial action

I have some photos of students marching in the streets against the 'action short of a strike', which I took in Liverpool. They are on the web site I set up at the time with the online petition, at www.aut-boycott.co.uk - I hereby give permission for any of those photos to be used on this site if anyone sees fit.

[edit] Boycott of Israel

I cut the following out of this section:

Recently, in a meeting where the union decided to support LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) History Month and oppose security surveillance of Muslims in UK campuses, the union also decided not to take action against antisemitism.[1]

The link leads to the above meeting, however, beyond the fact that the LGBT, History, and security concerns are completely unrelated, the actual motion was withdrawn. As such it is not appropriate to draw the conclusion of "decided not to take action against antisemitism." This is an entirely unknowable conclusion, as the motion may have been withdrawn for any number of reasons.--Bookandcoffee 04:41, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boycott Iran, Saudi Arabia nd other states which violate the human rights of their citizens

This is an organisation that appears to do a lot of good. However I do not understand their attempt to try and boycott Israel. However much you don't like what the Israeli's have done etc you could equally or moreso (IMO) criticise the actions of arab and muslim states like Iran and the Saudi's. These countries do not respect basic human rights law, their violations are worse than Israel's even though Israel has violated the human rights of palestinians at times, the Saudi's Iran etc laws actually do ti to their own citizens. Where is the call to boycott them? At least Israel is a liberal democracy, where the human rights of its citizens are respected. Supposed (talk) 04:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
