Whooping should be banned beause it excludes deaf people, Nation Union of Students say
Students who whoop, cheer and clap should face “consequences” because they are excluding deaf people, delegates at the National Union of Students conference said. Audience members were repeatedly warned that they must cease whooping to express support for a speaker, because it has a “serious impact” on the accessibility of the conference.
Whooping and cheering should be banned, NUS motion says
A motion proposed by delegates at the National Union of Students (NUS) conference warned there would be “consequences” for students who clap and whoop at future events. At a conference session earlier this week students were told that whooping had “a serious impact on some delegates ability to access conference.”
