The Senate is an important body, which comprises all status groups at the University. It discusses and advises on various matters relating to the organisation of the University and is involved in all fundamental decisions at HHU. The Senate is also involved in appointments to other central bodies and university management positions, and sees its task as supporting these bodies in the interests of the University.
The Senate faces further challenges, such as involvement in shaping the new University Development Plan or closer cooperation with the faculties against the background of increasingly scarce financial resources. The Chair comments: “Above all, the various aspects of sustainability, foundations for excellent research and training, environmental protection, diversity, health and development offering equal opportunities remain relevant and we will continue to support the development of the University in this regard.”
University President, Professor Dr Anja Steinbeck, congratulated the newly elected Executive Committee: “When all groups at HHU work together in an appreciative manner, we succeed in moving our University forward. The Senate always provides important impulses and I look forward to having this body as a reliable advisor and sparring partner in the future.” She also expressed her thanks for the successful term of office recently completed.
