The National Union of Students has criticised its president over her “failure” to fully implement its Israel boycott policy.

At a National Executive Committee meeting on Monday, NUS chiefs backed a motion to censure president Megan Dunn after she allowed Coca Cola to sponsor the NUS awards this month.

The soft-drinks company is a target of the anti-Israel boycott movement as a result of its subsidiary firm operating in Israeli settlements.

The motion was passed by 20 votes. There were 14 votes against and two abstentions.
