Hitch to Morocco fails ratification tests
This year’s Hitch to Morocco will not take place with the backing of YUSU after it was deemed too great a risk to Union liability. The decision was made after YUSU Communications and Societies Officer Sam Bayley described the Hitch’s destination as “too much of a risk”, and it was revealed that the Union’s insurance does not cover the kind of risks undertaken by participants. Despite the decision, YUSU continues to support the initiative, providing them with free advertising and use of university rooms. “We don’t have any problem with their aims and objectives,” said Bayley, “and they’re working for a worthy cause.”
