AStA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The General Students' Committee (German: Allgemeiner Studierendenausschuss) or AStA, is the acting executive board and the external representing agency of the (constituted) student body at universities in most German states. It is hence considered the student government and student representative organization. AStA committees are usually selected by the student parliament and consist of one or more chairpersons as well as a set of consultants from different fields of study.
