Newcastle University Students' Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Newcastle University Students' Association (NUSA) represents undergraduate students at the University of Newcastle, NSW, Australia. The organisation is one of four student organisations at the university (the Others being the University of Newcastle student Union, the Central Coast Students' Association, and NUSport) and focuses on advocacy, political representation and organising as well as providing some welfare services and supporting a student based food co-operative.
NUSA is directed by the NUSA Council which is made up of the NUSA executive, the collective convenors, faculty representatives, first-year representatives and a representative from the colleges. The organisation operates on the basis of student collectives which are convened by office bearers to direct and undertake political campaigns.
NUSA is affiliated to the National Union of Students of Australia.
NUSA has long been held by the left factions of the National Union of Students of Australia usually by either the National Broad Left or the National Organisation of Labor Students or more often by the two, cooperatively. Both the NBL and NOLS dissolved in the period of late 2005 and early 2006.
