University of York Students' Union (York SU, formerly YUSU) is the representative body for the students at the University of York, England. It provides representation for all students, is the key provider of entertainment and welfare services, and operates a range of commercial ventures including a cafe bar and events & marketing department. Lewis Parrey is the current Union Affairs Officer (head of the union). At one time entertainer Tom Scott was president after running as Mad Cap'n Tom, entered against his will by friends and dressed as a pirate.
York SU is responsible for representing and campaigning for students to the university, for example over improved facilities such as a 24-hour library.[1]
