Tasks of the Staff Council
At its regular meetings (every 14 days), the Staff Council deals with applications and personnel matters submitted to it by the university on the basis of its right to co-determination (right of the Staff Council to reject) or its right to participation (right of the Staff Council to comment, right of initiative). Furthermore, suggestions and topics are discussed which are brought to the Staff Council partly by the employees and partly by the University Administration. The Staff Council tries to discuss issues from all angles and to define approaches to solutions and recommendations for action. In monthly meetings with the University Administration, the proposals of the Staff Council are discussed together, resolutions are passed and service agreements are initiated.
