 University of Warwick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A campus university, it was established in 1965 as part of a government initiative to expand access to higher education; it is located in Coventry, 5 km (3 miles) southwest of the centre of the city, and not in Warwick as its name suggests.
Warwick is currently the best ranked university outside of London and Oxbridge, and the only multifaculty institution aside from Oxbridge to have never been out of the top ten.
Warwick is particularly well placed to benefit from Top-Up Fees as it is one of the few universities to meet its target, set by the Higher Education Funding Council for England, for the proportion of students enrolled from state schools (86%).

 EducationGuardian.co.uk | Special Reports | How students make their choice
The brief was to find out which factors students consider when deciding to pursue postgraduate study, how they fund their courses, and to discover the wider implications of these funding choices.
Contrary to the perception that most students have their fees paid, the survey found that 64% of postgrads are paying their own tuition fees.
As you might expect, the survey found that those students reporting the greatest shortfall between their income and expenditure are more likely to be young (20-25), full-time students on taught postgraduate courses in the arts, humanities or social sciences.

 Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example, a students' union may be prohibited as an organization from engaging in activities not concerning students; if the union becomes involved in non-student activities these activities are considered ultra vires of the union's charter.
An extreme example was the Constitution of the Soviet Union that on paper supported freedom of assembly or freedom of speech; however, citizens who acted accordingly were summarily imprisoned.
However, through its membership in the European Union, the UK is now subject to the jurisdiction of European Community law and the European Court of Justice; similarly, by acceding to the Council of Europe's European Convention on Human Rights, it is subject to the European Court of Human Rights.

 John Cross Blog, University of Warwick
It is true that other Union Officers should assist with promoting Union Referenda and it is true that the Communications Committee Chair has resigned, however the ultimate responsibility to make sure the referenda is publicised remains with the full time paid Union Officers by which of course I mean the Sabbatical Officers.
Students are perfectly capable of making choices about how they want to vote, mixed voting does not mean mixed messages.
Students already have the right to vote in Union Referenda HOWEVER that right is not currently written down clearly and unambiguously in the Union Constitution.
