The Students' Association of the University of Adelaide (SAUA) was a student representative body that existed at the University of Adelaide from 1973 until 2007.[2] It was one of a number of student organisations that was affiliated to and funded by the Adelaide University Union through the government sanctioned 'Union Fee'. Prior to 1973, an SRC had represented student interests at the University.[3] Former Presidents of the SRC include John Bannon, Gordon Bilney and Julia Gillard.
The SAUA had representative members on many of the University's committees, gave comment in the media and made submissions to government inquiries about issues that affected students and young people in general.[4] It also regularly ran events and awareness campaigns.
The 2021 student election saw victory of the United Left, a left coalition, with Ana Obradovic elected as the 2022 SRC president.[6][7]
The AUU was renamed to YouX in 2022, despite significant opposition to the change.[8] In 2022, the YouX Board under Oscar Ong cut funding to the SRC. The majority of the SRC voted on a motion denouncing the funding cut in their first meeting.[9]
After a disputed result in September 2023,[10] 2023 president Georgia Thomas remained as interim[11] until a by-election was held in March 2024. Aiden Zeyang Wang was elected president on 28 March 2024.[12]
