Introduction
The students' union is a charitable organisation, enshrined by legislation such as the Education Act 1994, and responsible for a number of areas of work: student representation, student activities, student advice on education and welfare, and campaigning. Prior to 2000, the University of Nottingham Students' Union was known as the University of Nottingham Union, abbreviated to UNU. The renaming was intended to clarify the union's status as a students' union. Its current full name is the University of Nottingham Students' Union, shortened to the students' union or simply 'SU' where appropriate.
