The University Council is responsible in particular for the preparation of the Development Plan, the Organisational Plan and the performance agreement, as well as for the issuing the rules of procedure for the Rectorate; the election and dismissal of the rector and the vice-rectors; for the management of the University’s financial affairs by means of approval and consent reservations and for general legal and economic supervision combined with reporting duties to the Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Research.
