UTS Students' Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The University of Technology, Sydney, Students' Association is the representative body for students at the University of Technology, Sydney. It is based at the Broadway campus of UTS. It commissions the student magazine Vertigo. The Association has departments which have previously worked collaboratively with the University to achieve practical outcomes for students, as well as ensuring that the University is held to account over its handling of student issues. Historically, this has resulted in numerous successful campaigns which have won rights for students in the University.

Students from various political backgrounds and ideologies have contested control of the organisation. It has predominantly remained with left political groupings in recent history.
