A
Palatinate investigation has revealed accusations of sustained malpractice and abuses of power within the Durham Union Society (DUS), including bullying, unaddressed bigotry, and the mishandling of complaints.
The Union Society has been described by some members as a ‘zero-sum political game’, afflicted by systemic failings, cronyism, and negligence in holding wrongdoers to account.
The Union Society is the largest and oldest student society at Durham, and holds regular debates and addresses. It is also responsible for managing the bar at 24 North Bailey.
The Union Society is an independent organisation, with its own trustees. It is not run by Durham University or even, as with many student societies, run in conjunction with Durham Students’ Union (Durham SU).
