Tasmania University Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tasmania University Union Inc (TUU) is the students' union that represents tertiary students attending the southern campuses of the University of Tasmania. It is larger than the Student Association which is the organisation that represents students at the northern campuses of the University of Tasmania based in Launceston. The TUU holds annual elections from which members are elected to positions within the Union. The TUU is affiliated with the National Union of Students (NUS) and with the Council of Australian Postgraduate Associations.
With Voluntary Student Unionism legislation passed by the Australian Parliament in 2005, the structure of the TUU is in question. While it continues to operate as it has in the past, discussions with the university may change it significantly.
