The Students’ Union is investigating an incident that occurred at the Glitterbomb event within the SU Venue on Thursday 26 September 2024.
Following an on-stage dance-off featuring a member of our Men’s Rugby club, the event host directed derogatory language towards the club and its members who were in attendance.
This conflicts with the inclusive and safe environment we strive to offer our members, and we do not condone this unacceptable behaviour in any way, shape, or form.
We have contacted the event promoter to express our concerns and expect a full apology to be issued to Men’s Rugby. We are providing support to the club and working with them and the event promoter to agree on the appropriate next steps.
If you have been affected by these events, you can contact the University’s Wellbeing department who offer a range of wellbeing support. Alternatively, you can contact our Advice Centre, which offers in-person and virtual appointments.
