New Solutions, old problems

New Solutions, an independent group of over 100 student union officers of various political hues, has launched a consultation document this week to further debate on student funding.

The document, set out in full on pages 8 and 9, outlines current National Union of Students' policy, and questions students on the basic principles that should underpin any future agenda. Ghassan Karian, president of the University of London Union, said: "We want students to be part of the debate on higher education funding."
