University Steering Committee
University Steering Committee of the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences
Tasks of the University Steering Committee in accordance with the Niedersächsisches Hochschulgesetz [Lower Saxony University Regulation] (NHG):
The Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences is managed by a University Steering Committee.
It designs the development of the university, prepares the decisions of the Academic Senate via the development plan and ensures that the university achieves its aims. The University Steering Committee is responsible for all affairs that are not assigned to another organ by the NHG. As an organ of the Stiftung ‘Fachhochschule Osnabrück’, the University Steering Committee conducts the Foundation's daily business, prepares the decisions of the Foundation Board and executes them. The University Steering Committee maintains the order in the university and exercises domiciliary rights. It is responsible for the legal supervision of the organs of the university and the student body. The President represents the university to outside, chairs the Board and sets the policies for the University Steering Committee.
Since the founding of the Stiftung ‘Fachhochschule Osnabrück’ as a sponsor of the university, it is proven practice that the deans of the faculties also take on the position as a part-time Vice Presidents at the same time.
