MATT COOKE, newish presi- dent of the University of London Un- ion, got a sardonic reception when he went to the LSE recently to talk about Transformation, the proposed recast- ing of ULU’s services and building.
The students of Aldwych Poly are notoriously ungracious to students’ un- ion leaders — perhaps because they’re not set on careers in banking — and this was to be no exception. One au- dience member asked Cooke which college of the University he hailed from. The Royal Academy of Music, he replied. “Sing us a song!” someone piped up.
