Affiliates

Affiliated to N.Z.U.S.A. are the N.Z.U. Press Council and the N.Z. Law Students' Association. The N.Z.U. Sports Union, set up last August to control the administration of N.Z.U. sport, remains a standing committee of N.Z.U.S.A. and is not yet a separate body. The N.Z.U. Rugby Football Council is not affiliated or in any way subject to N.Z.U.S.A.'s jurisdiction.

N.Z.U.S.A. is, in the international sphere, a member of the International Student Conference (ISC), which meets every twelve to fifteen months. This ISC is intended to be a platform for representatives from national unions of students from all over the world to work out bases of co-operation on a non-political basis as far as possible. It provides the only alternative organisation to the monolithically partisan International Union of Students (IUS), which monotonously reiterates the Cominform policies and from which N.Z. U.S.A. disaffiliated in 1948.
