  • Cambridge University Students' Union (CUSU) is the university-wide representative body for students at the University of Cambridge, England. CUSU is a federal body made up of college JCRs and MCRs. CUSU was founded as the Cambridge Students' Union (CSU) in 1971 and formally recognised by the university authorities on May 25, 1984 and renamed, following a student referendum in March 1985, as CUSU - Cambridge University Students Union. Its second president was Charles Clarke, later a Labour MP, Secretary of State for Education and Home Secretary. There had been previous university-wide groups, such as CAMNUS, which was founded in 1964 by Gordon Heald, John Bibby and others. CAMNUS arranged certain university-wide student facilities, such as 'CAMNUS Coaches' (an end-of-term bus service to all parts of the country), and an inter-collegiate mail service. CUSU should not be confused with the Cambridge Union Society, a world-famous debating society established in 1815; membership to both is open to all students at Cambridge, but the Cambridge Union is a private society and membership is dependent on payment of a subscription. Despite the Cambridge Union Society never having been a students' union in the modern sense, it did briefly affiliate to the National Union of Students in 1924 under the leadership of Rab Butler. Although graduate students at Cambridge University are members of CUSU, there is also a separate students' union for graduate student affairs, the Cambridge University Graduate Union, known as the Graduate Union.
