The University of South Australia Student Association is the peak student representative body at the University of South Australia (UniSA). USASA is spread across UniSA's four metropolitan campuses as well as the Centre for Regional Engagement, encompassing the Whyalla and Mount Gambier campuses. Upholding its three pillars of "Voice · Advice · Play", USASA provides key student services to the UniSA student body such as supporting university clubs, holding events, providing advocacy services, volunteer programs and running the student publication - Verse Magazine. ==History== From 1 January 1991 the University of South Australia was established as a result of a merger between the Institute of Technology and significant elements of the South Australian College of Advanced Education.〔(History of UniSA )〕 This merger necessitated the formation of a single student association that represented the needs of the then six campuses of the newly formed university. The New University Merger Discussion Group was the beginning of the UniSA Students Association (USASA). USASA was inaugurated in 1994, with the Confederated Student Union, the South Australian Institute of Technology Union and the Council of South Australian College Student Organisations managing the intervening years. When the Howard Government introduced Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU) in 2006,〔(Government Senators' Dissenting Report )〕 USASA had to restructure to cope with the dramatic loss of income. Part of this restructure included rebranding UniSA's student association as 'UniLife'. In 2013, the student association went back to their roots after a referendum of students overwhelmingly voted to officially rebrand the organisation as the 'University of South Australia Student Association'. This marks a time of restructure and renewed focus on student representation.〔http://unione.unilife.edu.au/Common/News.aspx?NID=435〕 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「University of South Australia Students Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
