UNIVERSITY BOARD. It’s time now to appoint teacher representatives to the University Board. The first step is for teachers employed at Sahlgrenska Academy to now nominate electors, who will be included in the Electoral Assembly that appoints teacher representatives. Nominate electors no later than September 13.
Teachers who are employed at least half-time, with permanent employment or at least two years of continuous employment, are affected by this election. Here is where you can see the provisional electoral register, listing everyone who may nominate, run as a candidate and vote in the election: https://gubox.box.com/s/lp7db8i6il80to8ly2x87jzhoyeh5jtb
If you would like to nominate electors, you can contact any of the members of the Sahlgrenska Academy nominating committee. The nominating committee’s work is led by Jovanna Dahlgren, jovanna.dahlgren@gu.se. At the bottom of this page, you’ll see a complete list of the nominating committee. The deadline for nominations is September 13.
Eight out of thirty electors
Sahlgrenska Academy will appoint eight of the total of 30 electors, who then appoint the three members who will represent teachers on the University Board. The electors included in the Electoral Assembly may not be teacher representatives themselves.
Those who are candidates to become electors should be consulted and must also be able to attend the meetings the electors will have to appoint the three teacher representatives. Electoral Assembly meetings will take place on Oct. 16 at 9:00-11:00 as well as November 21 at 9:00-11:00. Candidates also need to be available for an alternate meeting time on November 27 at 9:00-11:00. The meetings will take place in the university’s main building in Vasaparken.
The approaching election
The electronic election will then take place from September 25 to October 8, 2018, among all teachers in the faculty who are eligible to vote. Questions about the election’s implementation are answered by Jan Rubensson, assistant head at the Faculty Office: jan.rubensson@sahlgrenska.gu.se or Tel. 031-786 3587.
