Why should I vote – or – what´s my part in this?
The faculty council is the elected committee which – as part of the academic self-administration – takes faculty decisions. The faculty council is responsible for the faculty statute, takes part in appointments to professorships and votes about the budget of the dean´s office. Other important topics for each UKE scientist are performance-based funding (LOM) and scoring of publications (UKE-scores). Moreover, the faculty council decides about the establishment, changing and termination of self-administration units in teaching and research; thus the faculty council is able to establish and terminate institutes and clinics of the UKE.
The representation of scientific employees in the faculty council is of significant importance – not so much because of the actual influence (majority of professorships required by law) but because the council takes structural decisions, which may be of importance for every scientist at the UKE.
