The Acadia Students' Union represents the undergraduate students at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada. They are a member of the Canadian Alliance of Students Associations (CASA) and the Alliance of Nova Scotia Student Associations (ANSSA).

Governance

The ASU is governed by the SRC, although day to day workings of the Union are handled by the Executive Board. Representatives for the SRC, Executive Board, and the Chair's Office are elected/appointed between February and March each year, with the exception of Frosh Representative, Councilor-at-Large (x3), Residence Representative, and Off-Campus Representative which are filled during the September by-election.

The SRC

The Students' Representative Council (SRC) is the governing body of the Acadia Students' Union. As such it the legislative authority of the organization and its powers are governed by the ASU Constitution and By-Laws. The SRC is made up of 19 elected and appointed members from areas of the Acadia Community.

The Chair

The Chair's office consists of the Chairperson of the SRC, the Deputy Chairperson, and the Administrative Assistant. The Chair's office and more specifically the Chairperson, is responsible for presiding over all meetings of the SRC, interpreting the constitution, and ensure that all elections are carried out in a manner that is consistent with the Constitution and By-Laws. The Chairperson also chairs the Review Board, which handles constitutional issues within the Union.

The Executive Board

In the 2005-2006 Academic Year, the SRC passed a resolution reducing the executive from 6 people to 5 people. The 5 positions are President, Vice President Student Affairs (VPSA), Vice President Campus Life (VPCL), Vice President Academic (VPA), and Vice President Finance (VPF). President, and VPSA are elected positions that all students elect during the February General Election. VPA, VPCL and VPF are appointed and ratified by the SRC, due to the technical nature of the positions.

tudent Association Memberships

The ASU is an active member of CASA and ANSSA.

The Canadian Federation of Students also includes them on their membership roster, but this is disputed by the Union itself. [http://www.cfs-fcee.ca/html/english/about/member_locals.php#Scotia]
