I would check the exact status between the union and the university, often they are considered autonomous and independant and not included in university plans, but legally there may not be any agreement as to what is union and university duristiction!

Subject: Re: Students Unions and Impact Assessments
Dear All
Can anyone enlighten us as to the position of Students Union's and Impact
Assessments? Has anyone else included them (or intend to include them) as
part of their university's services when doing Impact Assessments. My gut
reaction is yes; they are an integral part of a public institution and
subject to the same rigours. Yet they are autonomous and largely independent
of a university's structure.
Anyone got any definitive thoughts, actions and reasoning on this !!!!
Thanks
Colin
