In August, Martin held a meeting with the campaign manager of the Union of Jewish Students for "building back trust" and to "start taking seriously the concerns Jewish students have raised".[11] Martin and Velleman committed to 'collaborate through joint projects' and "overlapping priorities [...] to ensure Jewish students feel safe in our spaces".[11] Martin's key initiative was to launch a commission into addressing student poverty, which was well-received in the sector.[12] Nick Hillman, director of the Higher Education Policy Institute, praised Martin as a 'born communicator with profound empathy for her members'.[13] The findings of the Poverty Commission were published in April 2018, making 40 recommendations, and was positively received by Universities UK and the University Alliance. [14][15]In March 2018, Martin was re-elected to a second term with 51% of the vote in the first round of voting, along with deputy Amatey Doku;[4][5] the latter received 68% after calling for nationwide student-led mobilization to demand a ‘people’s vote’ on the final Brexit deal. Martin reaffirmed her commitment to 'fight student poverty, defend student rights [and] create a truly united NUS', reaching out to welcome 'Tories' and 'Lib Dems' within the union.[5][16] In November 2018, it was noted that the NUS faced bankruptcy.[17] Martin wrote to members that the union would be "taking urgent action to stabilise our position," with reforms being developed for "consideration and refinement with the help of our members, and subsequently to national conference 2019 to be voted on by our members." In February 2019, in a personal Facebook post, Martin told critics of her handling of the NUS to "F*** off" and described the job as President of the NUS as an "awful job". The post was shortly deleted.[18] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Shakira Martin elected NUS National President 2017-18|url=https://www.nus.org.uk/en/news/shakira-martin-elected-nus-president-2017-18/|website=NUS|date= 26 April 2017 |accessdate=27 April 2017}} {{National Union of Students (United Kingdom)}}{{Presidents of the National Union of Students}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Martin, Shakira}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|last1=Topping|first1=Alexandra|last2=Marsh|first2=Sarah|url=https://www.theguardian.com/education/2017/apr/26/malia-bouattia-shakira-martin-nus-national-union-of-students-president-election|title=Divisive NUS president Malia Bouattia defeated in election|work=The Guardian|date=26 April 2017|accessdate=26 April 2017}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Pells|first1=Rachel|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/student/news/shakira-martin-wins-nus-presidency-further-education-candidate-president-tom-harwood-malia-bouattia-a7703001.html|title=Further education underdog Shakira Martin wins NUS presidency|work=The Independent|date=26 April 2017|accessdate=26 April 2017}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Bothwell|first1=Ellie|url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/shakira-martin-re-elected-national-union-students-president|title=Shakira Martin re-elected as National Union of Students president|work=Times Higher Education|date=28 March 2018|accessdate=28 March 2018}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Weale|first1=Sally|url=https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/mar/28/shakira-martin-easily-holds-on-to-leadership-of-students-union|title=Shakira Martin easily holds on to leadership of students union|work=The Guardian|date=28 March 2018|accessdate=28 March 2018}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Wakefield|first1=Lawrence|url=https://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/aug/27/student-leader-with-a-swagger-they-think-jeremy-corbyn-is-radical|title=Student leader with a swagger|work=The Guardian|date=27 August 2015|accessdate=26 April 2017}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Burke|first1=Jude|url=http://feweek.co.uk/2017/04/26/fe-champion-elected-nus-president/|title=FE champion Shakira Martin elected NUS president|work=FE Week|date=26 April 2017|accessdate=26 April 2017}} 8. ^[https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reviewing-post-16-education-and-training-institutions-list-of-area-reviews/reviewing-post-16-education-and-training-institutions-area-reviews-waves-1-to-5 "Reviewing post-16 education and training institutions: area reviews (waves 1 to 5)"], Department for Education.
