Queen's University. Arts and Science Undergraduate Society
The Arts & Science Undergraduate Society (ASUS) was established in 1890 as the all-male Arts Society. The Arts Society was created by a group of students and took its current name in 1967 when the Arts Society merged with the all female Levana Society. The Levana Society was founded in 1888, at a time when women were not given the same rights as male students.
While its name has changed over the years, the fundamental purpose has remained consistent. We seek to enhance the educational experience of Arts & Science students in and out of the classroom and to represent and advocate on behalf of the student body to the faculty and administration.
The Society is governed by an elected President & Vice President, who are responsible to the student body through the legislation of ASUS Assembly. The President & Vice President hire a council of 5 commissioners and 1 officer who oversee a diverse range of committees.
Teaching and Research Assistants Certification Campaign
Formed in response to growing concerns about the perceived erosion of research and teaching assistants, and undergraduate markers' rights, the Teaching Research Assistants Certification Campaign mounted a drive to unionize Queen's University graduate employees under the auspices of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). Following a lengthy campaign begun in September 1997, this initiative was defeated in a certified vote in April 1998.
