LETTER: Accusations of SU Anti-Christian Bias
Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011
The Union wishes to briefly respond to the accusations of an apparent SU anti-Christian bias. The Students’ Union notes that it has only received a single complaint out of 24,000 student members regarding the flying of the rainbow flag.
