Who we are and what we do

The Black Students’ Campaign is an autonomous part of NUS. This means that black students elect the national officer and committee and pass policy at the summer conference. This policy shapes the campaign’s work to ensure the black perspective is fully integrated into the fabric of all students’ unions and society.

Black students committee

The role of the national black students' committee is to ensure that the work done by the national black students’ officer reaches out to all campuses around the country. The committee has regional responsibilities to support and inform black students in their local areas and mobilise students to come to our conferences and participate in campaigns and events.

The committee also holds the black students' officer accountable, sets the priority campaigns and agrees any interim policy between conferences. Committee members elected in caucus are expected to attend any relevant events and organise events to ensure specific issues are brought to the forefront e.g. issues affecting black women or further education students.
