Faculty Council

The Faculty Council is the faculty’s advisory council and has both advisory rights as well as the right of consent on various matters concerning the faculty. As such, the council represents both students and staff and acts as a sounding board for the Faculty Board. The tasks and privileges of the council are based on the Wet Hoger Onderwijs (WHW) and have been written down in the faculty rules & regulations.

The Faculty Council of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs (FGGA) is comprised of eight members: four staff members on behalf of all faculty employees and four student member who represent the faculty’s student body. A meeting between the Faculty Board and Faculty Council (the consultation meetings) is convened approximately every six weeks. These meetings are open to the public.
