CUSU is the Cambridge University Student Union, which is the normal student union for the university, to which all students belong. The CUSU Women's Officer has organised a petition of members of the Union Society (normally just known as the 'Union'), the debating society for which students can buy membership, to not invite Assange to speak (presumably via video).

Not that this deserves 'Breaking' in the headline at all. This isn't even a storm in a teacup.
