The Faculty Council is responsible for all matters of fundamental importance to the Faculty. In particular, it is responsible for

• issuing the Faculty's regulations
• passing resolutions on the Faculty's development plan
• establishing principles for the performance-related distribution of positions and funds
• electing and dismissing the faculty management and electing their deputies
• deciding on the accountability report of the faculty management

The Faculty Council is convened by the Dean at least once during the lecture period of each semester.

The members of the Faculty Council are

• the Dean as Chairperson (without voting rights)
• the Vice Dean (without voting rights)
• at least six professors
• staff members
• students

The Faculty Council can appoint advisory committees to support it. For decisions on matters that affect several faculties and require coordinated fulfillment, the faculty councils involved should form joint decision-making committees.
