Charles Sturt University (CSU) will take over providing all services to its students such as sports clubs, medical, counselling and advisory on Wednesday 4 April. Head of Dubbo Campus Mr Gary Shipp will accept the handover of these services from Matthew Hare, President of the Student Representative Council. “CSU students will not notice any difference in the level of services they receive at the University with the change,” said Jim Hackett, who is overseeing the takeover of all student services by CSU. “CSU has taken the stand that the student services provided by the CSU Student Association were an important part of the whole university experience, so the University has stepped in to continue these services, which are particularly important on our regional campuses.” The move has occurred as the result of the voluntary student unionism legislation passed last year by the Federal Government.
