According to a statement from the NUS released today, ¡°after careful consideration Ben Kernighan has decided that he does not wish to continue in his position as Chief Executive of NUS and has now left the organisation¡±.
The NUS statement, released on 16 May, gave no further clues as to why Mr Kernighan, who started at the NUS on 8 July 2013, had left, but adds: ¡°Ben successfully led a complex process of bringing together the disparate parts of the group under one new set of terms and conditions.
¡°He led the organisation to a number of policy successes around higher and further education funding and regulation as well as wider policy wins including winning concessions to the Lobbying Act.
¡°The organisation is grateful for Ben¡¯s contribution and would like to take this opportunity to thank him and to wish him every success in the future,¡± it concludes.
