Student Guild
The QUT Student Guild is an on-campus organisation run by students of QUT. The QUT Student Guild manages most on-campus clubs and societies along with running limited activities and publishing the on-campus magazine Universe. Officers of the Student Guild are elected by the student body through the process of a university wide election. The organisation is self-sufficiently funded through advertising revenues and fundraisers.
In 2012 the Guild undertook a significant constitutional reform that included disaffiliation from the National Union of Students (Australia). During the meeting in which changes were passed, police were present to contain violent protestors from the NUS, including the state president and national queer director. This occurred during the first electoral term of the 'EPIC' ticket led by Tasmin Trezise, Jake Phillpot, Josh Cameron, Stacey Percival, Anthony Deacon, Peter Park and Kara Worboyes.
The 2012 student elections were marred by controversy, with allegations of abuse directed toward two of the three political parties running for office in addition to allegations of breaches of the University's election code regarding advertising material levelled at the third party.
