Why is the Election So Important?
The Senate and the school executive boards have a decisive influence on developments at the university. The elected representatives represent the interests of their respective status group in the committees and thus play an active role in shaping the university! We have compiled a few examples from practice for you, including the completely revised General Examination Regulations and the new Online Examination Regulations.
