admin@westerneye.net The National Union of Students has recently called for a student walkout, which is to take place on Wednesday 14 March. The walkout is a part of the NUS’ ‘Come Clean on Hidden

Costs’ campaign, which aims to get universities and colleges to commit to ‘full transparency prior to application on all course costs.’ The ‘week of action’, which will be taking place from the 12 - 16 March, is also being supported by the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts.
