Edinburgh University Students' Association (EUSA) is the students' union at the University of Edinburgh. As a students' union EUSA is an autonomous, student-led, campaigning organisation, which provides services, representation and welfare support on behalf of its members – the University's students. Edinburgh University Sports Union (EUSU) is not part of EUSA, having its own representative and organisational structure. ==History== An Edinburgh Students' Representative Council (SRC) was founded in 1884 by student Robert Fitzroy Bell. Shortly afterwards, the SRC voted to establish a union (the Edinburgh University Union (EUU)), to be housed in the building now known as Teviot Row House. The Edinburgh University Women's Union was founded in 1906, becoming the Chambers Street Union in 1964. On 1 July 1973 the SRC, the EUU and the Chambers Street Union merged to form Edinburgh University Students' Association. Through the SRC, EUSA is the oldest students' union in the UK. In 1994 the University forced the merger of the King's Buildings Union and EUSA, despite the KB Union voting against the proposal. In 1976 EUSA disaffiliated from the National Union of Students (NUS), a decision that was reversed in 2004. In 2005 EUSA formally twinned with Birzeit University Student Council, West Bank, with each union annually hosting delegations from the other.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.birzeit.edu/news/19608/news )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sjp.eusa.ed.ac.uk/right-to-educationbirzeit-twinning-resolution/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/eusapolicy/external/gm_birzeittwinning/ )〕 Following a student consultation process and plebiscite a new constitution was established in 2012. EUSA was criticised in 2013 after acting using the Court of Session to "censor" The Student as it "was due to publish details of the suspension of Max Crema, vice-president of services at the union". President James McAsh defended the action, claiming it was taken "to protect the rights of our employees".〔http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/02/07/edinburgh-the-student-paper-gagged-union-legal-row_n_2636945.html〕〔http://www.journal-online.co.uk/article/10094-editorial-i-may-not-like-what-you-say〕 In 2013, EUSA made the decision to ban the playing of Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke in its venues, attracting some attention in national media. The song was deemed to promote "an unhealthy attitude towards sex and consent", and for being in breach of EUSA's 'End Rape Culture and Lad Banter on Campus' policy, designed to tackle 'myths and stereotypes around sexual violence' and stop the sexual objectification of female students. In 2014, EUSA was threatened with legal proceedings by far-left Socialist Workers Party (SWP) National Secretary Charlie Kimber following a motion put forward banning it from campus due to the 'Comrade Delta' rape scandal. The union was forced to withdraw the motion. ''The Student'' editors ripped the front pages covering the story from every newspaper and responded: "Fuck the SWP, long live ''The Student''." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edinburgh University Students' Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
