Appointments committees and council

The right to make decisions regarding appointments to all positions is delegated to the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design (TKD), with certain exceptions.

The exceptions mainly concern leading positions at the university; for example dean, head of centre and faculty director who are employed by the university board, as well as professors and dosent professors who are appointed by a separate committee on the recommendation of the head of department.

The processing of cases to be considered by the appointments committees and council must be completed before being sent to the head of section HR, at least one week before the meeting is to be held.

All cases are decided by a simple majority.

Employee representatives on the appointments committees are appointed by the employee unions and shall attend to the interests of all applicants to positions, regardless of membership.
