The number of cases for the Sahlgrenska Academy Academic Appointments Board has almost doubled since the end of 2006. In order for the members to have a more reasonable workload, the Faculty Board has made a principled decision to increase the number of members, from today’s seven to 14. Twelve of these members must be scientifically competent teachers, and two student representatives. The doubling will take effect on April 1, 2020, and will primarily be done by asking individuals who currently have assignments as personal substitutes if they can instead become ordinary members. The term of office extends to December 31, 2021.
