EUSA then embarked on a major rebranding programme, changing the logo and encouraging the organisation to be referred to as "the Association", or "your Students' Association" instead of "EUSA".
The name change was rejected by 69.9% of students. EUSA submitted a proposal to NUS Scotland for affiliation with Students for Cooperation, which was accepted.Īlso in 2016, EUSA sabbatical officers and management submitted a referendum to the student membership over whether to change the Association's name to "University of Edinburgh Students' Union", alongside a number of internal administrative changes.

This took full effect in 2014, incorporating the Association as a charitable company limited by guarantee. 2000–present įollowing a student consultation process and a referendum in February 2012 a new constitution was established in 2011 and amended in 2013. In 2005 EUSA formally twinned with Birzeit University Student Council, West Bank, with each union hosting delegations from the other. In 1976 EUSA disaffiliated from the National Union of Students (NUS), a decision that was reversed in 2004. ĭue to the university merging with other organisations, since 1994, EUSA has merged with the Moray House Institute of Education Union and the Edinburgh College of Art Union.
In 1994 the university forced the merger of the King's Buildings Union and EUSA, although the members of KB Union voted against the proposed merger. Through the SRC, EUSA is the oldest students' union in the UK. Due to reference in the Universities (Scotland) Act 1889, the SRC could not be dissolved at the time of merger. On 1 July 1973 the SRC, the EUU and the Chambers Street Union merged to form Edinburgh University Students' Association. The King's Buildings Union was established in 1931 in huts formerly used by the Geology department, before moving into a custom building in 1939. The Edinburgh University Women's Union was founded in October 1905, later moving to premises at 16 Chambers Street and renaming itself to the Chambers Street Union in 1964. EUU was constituted as an autonomous organisation, and did not admit women until 1971. Teviot Row House was officially opened on 19 October 1889, and is the oldest purpose-built student union in the world. This £15,600 (£2,000,000 in 2019 money) was used to hire an architect, Sydney Mitchell, and begin construction of the Union building adjacent to the Medical School and the Reid Concert Hall. The Town Council and Senatus Academicus donated £100 and £500 respectively to the cause. The SRC established a campaign of public fundraising, with prominent figures in the city and the general public donating £5,000, and a fancy fair held at the Waverly Market raised £10,000. Shortly afterwards, the SRC voted to establish a union (the Edinburgh University Union (EUU)), to provide social space and recreational facilities for students.
