The University Board is one of three bodies at AU where students are represented. The other two are the study boards and the academic councils. While the study boards look after the interests of the individual programs, such as curriculum, teaching and exams, the Academic Councils play a guiding role for the deans of the different faculties – discussing the faculties’ plans for education and research more generally.
The Board of Directors is AU’s highest authority and is responsible for the major, long-term plans for AU’s operations as an educational institution. This can be anything from climate action plans and AU’s overall finances, to construction plans for new campuses and the creation of new faculties.
The board has a total of 11 members. 5 of the board members are from AU, of which 2 are students and 3 are employees. The remaining 6 members are external members. This means that they are not affiliated with AU, but come from the business community, the public sector or something else. The external members are often hired with the aim of providing the board with a broad range of competencies.
It is the students’ task on the board to safeguard the students’ interests in the specific matters discussed at the meetings, and the students must also challenge issues at board meetings that are relevant to students.
The two current student board members, Thea and Sofie, are elected from the Student Council and thus represent the broad student body. Through the Student Council, they have access to talk to the students locally at the different study programs to hear what opinions should be brought to the university board.
