Students' union - New Zealand
All universities, and most polytechnics and colleges of education have a students association.
Students associations have a strong history in New Zealand of involvement in social justice causes, notably the Halt All Racist Tours campaign during the Springboks Tour in violation of the Gleneagles Agreement. Since the economic reforms of the 1990s and the introduction of user pays in tertiary education, students associations and the national body have shifted their focus to challenging inequities in the student loan scheme and high levels of student debt. Part-time work along side the introduction of internal assessment and the change of semester structure has been attributed to the declining involvement in extra-curicular activities and a shift in focus of the student movement from mass protest to lobbying.
The Voluntary Student Membership amendment to the Education Act was passed by the right-wing National party in 1998, however with a compromise pushed by the centrist New Zealand First party that allowed each students' association the opportunity every to hold a referendum every two years on whether membership to the association is Compulsory or Voluntary. The first wave of referenda were held in 1999. Waikato Student Union and Auckland University Students Association were the only campuses to turn Voluntary. Today AUSA (Auckland University Students Association) is the only students association with Voluntary Student Membership.
The New Zealand University Students Association is a con-federation of most New Zealand students' associations.
