The Faculty Board

The Board exercises its obligations based on decisions by the University Board, and in accordance with the current Acts, regulations and rules. The Faculty Board's rules of procedure also regulate the work of the Board.

All Faculty Board meetings are normally open. The Board can hold closed sessions on certain issues with only the members and secretary of the Board present. The Dean heads the Board and prepares issues for review. The Faculty Director is the Board's secretary.

Issues handled by the Board

• Annual plan and budget. The approval of these is one of the Board's instruments for following up the Faculty's activities.
• General plans, principles and priorities for the Faculty's activities, as set out in long-term plans (such as strategic plan) and academic priorities in research and teaching.
