The University Council (UC) is the central employee and the student participation body of the University of Twente. The council has a say in UT policy at the central level.
About the UC
During each meeting cycle, the council consults with the Executive Board on various topics in public meetings. A meeting cycle consists of approximately 7 weeks. Check the UC meeting schedule for the complete overview. You can read a report of what was discussed in the plenary meetings between the University Council and the Executive Board in the University Council newsletter.
In addition, the committee meetings are held separately with the portfolio holders (Executive Board members). Within the University Council, a structure is in place whereby, in preparation for the internal meeting, the topics are divided by content among three committees:
- The Committee on Education, Research and Students (OOS) - pfh. Tom Veldkamp
- The Committee on Finance, Personnel Policy and Management (FPB) - pfh. Machteld Roos
- The Committee on Strategy and Internationalisation (SI) - pfh. Vinod Subramaniam.
Nine new students and nine new employees join the University Council every year, and nine new employees join every two years. So, the Council's composition changes every year. Each council member represents a party. These are represented in the UC: Campus Coalition, UReka, and DAS.
