Participational bodies
Works Council & Representative Councils
The Works Council (OR) advocates the interests of university employees. A significant portion of the OR’s preparatory work is carried out in different committees. Each of the university’s divisions (faculties, services and companies) also has its own Representative Council (OC).
Trade unions and Local Council
Trade unions represent the interests of employees during the Local Council. The Local Council discusses issues related to the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities. The representatives of the trade unions try to ensure that the terms of employment at uu77 better reflect the wishes of the employee.
University and Faculty Student Councils
The University Student Council (USC) advocates the interests of the university students. A significant portion of the USR’s preparatory work is carried out in different committees of the joint assemblies, and is also carried out by specific task forces. The USC consists of elected and nominated members. In addition to the USC, there are also Faculty Student Councils (FSC).
Faculty Joint Assembly
Each faculty has a Faculty Joint Assembly (FGV), which is where the Faculty Student Council and the Representative Council confer with the Faculty Board. The FGV assembly’s agenda includes matters that relate to educational policy and the faculty’s facilities.
Programme Committees
Each study programme has its own Programme Committee (PC), which consists of students and lecturers. The PC monitors the educational quality of the study programme. The PC’s agenda includes matters that relate to course evaluations and the Education and Examination Regulations (EER).
