Criticism
The Union has been criticised for its distance from the main university precinct and large halls of residence campus in Stoke Bishop. A report of the Student Union's accounts in October 2007 revealed that the organisation is facing a cost deficit of over £70,000. This has been largely attributed to the ailing Union shop which has now been shut down pending a review of the service. This has now re-opened and merchandise for the Union - now in the hands of Leanne Bramall - is doing very well.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“As far as criticism is concerned, we don’t resent that unless it is absolutely biased, as it is in most cases.”
—John Vorster (1915–1983)
