| - It is located in the city of Birmingham, UK, in the city centre on the Aston University campus. It is mainly funded by the University through a block grant, and provides services for the students where the University itself cannot. For example, the Guild may provide legal representation in University disciplinary hearings, without the risk of a conflict of interest. The Guild also provides services such as a photocopying shop, advertising student jobs, advice and counselling, housing lists and proof of landlords safety certificates, and entertainment. All Aston University students are automatically members of the Guild, although they may opt out if they wish. The Guild is run by students at a three-weekly meeting known as Guild Council. Members must be nominated to serve on the council and council makes all decisions regarding the direction of the Guild. Additionally there are 14 Guild Executive Officers (students union officers) who ensure the smooth running of the Guild on a daily basis. The Guild opted out of the National Union of Students in 2006. The students voted to disaffiliate in an all-student referendum. The decisive margin was close, at 53% to 47%, and there has been no talk of holding another referendum with the aim of re-joining as the Guild is running successfully without their assistance. In 2009 Aston hosted the first meeting of United Students' Unions (USU), a support network with a primary aim of sharing best practice between Student Unions who chose not to affiliate to the NUS. USU will also be making a submission to the 2009/10 HE Funding Review.
