Formal Relationship With The University of Adelaide
As of 2008, the AUU relies on the University of Adelaide for the vast majority of its funding. This is a result of a funding agreement with the University.
The ultimate existence of the AUU, and its relationship with the university, is governed by the University of Adelaide Act 1971. This Act of the South Australian Parliament gives the University of Adelaide Council significant power over the Union. The AUU cannot alter its constitution or rules, or charge a membership fee, without the agreement of University Council. Furthermore the AUU is bound to provide University Council with its financial reports and budget for the coming calendar year prior to 1 December.
